AMD Ryzen 9 5900HS vs Intel Core i9-9900K

Ryzen 9 5900HS vs Core i9-9900K benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i9-9900K beats the Ryzen 9 5900HS in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 9 5900HS in all gaming tests too.

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 Core i9-9900K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 9 5900HS. A Ryzen 9 5900HS CPU outputs less heat than a Core i9-9900K 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 i9-9900K. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Ryzen 9 5900HS has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
