Ryzen 9 5900HS vs Core i7-9700KF benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 9 5900HS is faster than the Core i7-9700KF. Despite this, the Core i7-9700KF has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Ryzen 9 5900HS has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-9700KF has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 9 5900HS. A Ryzen 9 5900HS CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-9700KF 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 i7-9700KF. The Ryzen 9 5900HS also has slightly 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 9 5900HS has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
