Ryzen 7 9700X vs Ryzen 7 9800X3D comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D is faster than the Ryzen 7 9700X. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 9700X has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

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 9800X3D has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 9700X. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 9700X has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 9700X CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU because of its 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 9800X3D also has significantly more L3 cache.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 9700X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
