Ryzen 9 4900H vs Core i7-10700 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-10700 is faster than the Ryzen 9 4900H. Despite this, the Ryzen 9 4900H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 9 4900H has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-10700. Despite this, the Core i7-10700 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 9 4900H CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-10700 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 9 4900H has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-10700. Despite this, the Core i7-10700 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 9 4900H.

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 9 4900H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
