Ryzen 9 5900HS vs Core i7-10700KF benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-10700KF performs better than the Ryzen 9 5900HS. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 9 5900HS 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 Core i7-10700KF has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 9 5900HS. A Ryzen 9 5900HS CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-10700KF 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, the Ryzen 9 5900HS has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i7-10700KF. However, both these chips have the same amount of 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 9 5900HS has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
