Ryzen Threadripper 1920X vs Core i9-9820X specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen Threadripper 1920X is faster than the Core i9-9820X. Despite this, the Core i9-9820X has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen Threadripper 1920X has slightly more cores than the Core i9-9820X. Indeed, the Ryzen Threadripper 1920X has 12 cores compared to 10 cores found in the Core i9-9820X. It also has more threads than the Core i9-9820X. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen Threadripper 1920X has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i9-9820X. Also, the Ryzen Threadripper 1920X has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i9-9820X outputs less heat than Ryzen Threadripper 1920X thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 Threadripper 1920X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
