Ryzen 7 7800X3D vs Ryzen 7 9700X benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 7 9700X performs better than the Ryzen 7 7800X3D. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 7800X3D in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 9700X. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 9700X has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 7 9700X outputs less heat than Ryzen 7 7800X3D thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, both these CPUs have the same amount of L2 cache. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D also has significantly more L3 cache.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
