Ryzen 9 6900HX vs Ryzen 7 PRO 3700 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 9 6900HX beats the Ryzen 7 PRO 3700 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 PRO 3700 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 Ryzen 7 PRO 3700 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 9 6900HX. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache. The Ryzen 7 PRO 3700 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.
