Ryzen 9 6900HX vs Ryzen 7 5700X3D specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 7 5700X3D performs better than the Ryzen 9 6900HX. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 9 6900HX in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 7 5700X3D has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 9 6900HX. In terms of cache, both these CPUs have the same amount of L2 cache. The Ryzen 7 5700X3D 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.
