Ryzen 7 9700X vs Ryzen 7 8700F comparison
In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 7 9700X beats the Ryzen 7 8700F in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 8700F in all gaming tests too.
When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 7 8700F has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 9700X. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 9700X has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches. The Ryzen 7 9700X 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 9700X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
