Ryzen 7 9800X3D vs Ryzen 7 8700F specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D is faster than the Ryzen 7 8700F. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 8700F 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 9800X3D has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 8700F. Also, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 7 8700F outputs less heat than Ryzen 7 9800X3D thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache. The Ryzen 7 9800X3D 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 9800X3D has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
