Ryzen 9 6900HX vs Core i9-13900KF specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i9-13900KF beats the Ryzen 9 6900HX in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 9 6900HX in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i9-13900KF has significantly more cores with 24 cores compared to the Ryzen 9 6900HX that has 8 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 9 6900HX. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 9 6900HX has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i9-13900KF. Despite this, the Core i9-13900KF has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 9 6900HX CPU outputs less heat than a Core i9-13900KF 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 Core i9-13900KF has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Ryzen 9 6900HX. The Core i9-13900KF also has significantly more 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 6900HX has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
