AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX vs Intel Core i7-10700F

Ryzen 9 5900HX vs Core i7-10700F benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-10700F performs better than the Ryzen 9 5900HX. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 9 5900HX in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 9 5900HX has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-10700F. Despite this, the Core i7-10700F has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 9 5900HX CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-10700F 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 5900HX has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i7-10700F. However, both these chips have the same amount of 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 5900HX has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
