Ryzen 7 3700X

The Ryzen 7 3700X has higher Level 2 Cache. Data/instructions which have to be processed can be loaded from the fast L2 and the CPU does not have to wait for the very slow DDR RAM
The Ryzen 7 3700X has higher Level 3 Cache. This is useful when you have substantial multiprocessing workloads, many computationally intense simultaneous processes. More likely on a server, less on a personally used computer for interactive desktop workloads.
The Ryzen 7 3700X is more power efficient and generates less heat.
The Ryzen 7 3700X has a smaller process size. The faster a transistor can toggle on and off, the faster it can do work. And transistors that turn on and off with less energy are more efficient, reducing the operating power, or “dynamic power consumption,” required by a processor.

i9-9900K

The i9-9900K has a higher turbo clock boost. Turbo Boost is a CPU feature that will run CPU clock speed faster than its base clock, if certain conditions are present. It will enable older software that runs on fewer cores, to perform better on newer hardware. Since games are software too, it is also applicable to them.

AMD Ryzen7 3700X vs Intel Core i9-9900K: 8 cores with the same frequency

Home > New Gear
> AMD Ryzen7 3700X vs Intel Core i9-9900K: 8 cores with the same frequency

The performance of AMD’s third generation Ryzen should be taken into account in the evaluation. Therefore, we plan to measure interesting projects. Both the AMD Ryzen 7 3700X and the Intel i9-9900K are 8-core processors with 16 threads, but the standard frequencies are not the same, so the absolute performance is slightly different. What’s gonna happen?

Performance at the same frequency is one of the most important indicators of the pros and cons of architecture: in general, the stronger the performance at the same frequency, the greater the architectural advantage. Of course, the high frequency also represents the advantage of the architecture. Intel’s advantage is that it can be operated relatively easily at 5 GHz. It is also a fact that AMD is difficult to break through 4.4 GHz due to cold air and water.

But today this frequency indicator will not be discussed for the time being. We try to bring the Ryzen 7 3700X and the i9-9900K to a frequency of 4 GHz. Let them fight together to see if Zen 2 is powerful or Core Coffe Lake is powerful.

Ryzen 7 3700X vs i9-9900K Parameter comparison

CPU	Ryzen 7 3700X	I9-9900k
Thread	8/16	8/16
Process Node	7 nm	14nm
Overclocking	Yes	Yes
Clock speed	3. 6-4.4Ghz	3.6-4.7Ghz
L3 cache	36MB	16MB
Graphics	No	UHD630
TDP	65W	95W
Price	$399	$488

Ryzen 7 3700X uses TSMC’s 7nm process, while Intel uses 14nm technology, which hasn’t been heavily modified for many years.

The Ryzen 7 3700X’s L3 cache is much larger, and the L3 cache performance is actually very high and it’s worth looking forward to. In terms of frequency, the Intel Core architecture dominates, and for many years it has been the killer for gaming performance and single-core performance.

Also worth mentioning is the starting price, Ryzen 7 3700X from 2599, Intel i9-9900K from 4999. Both have a certain price reduction, but Ryzen 7 is much cheaper than i9.

Two processors, Intel core frequency off, AMD core acceleration off, PBO off, manual lock 40 times frequency, ie 4 GHz frequency, voltage auto, memory is also 3200 MHz, C14-14-14-34.

Ryzen 7 3700X vs i9-9900K: theoretical performance test

There are a total of 4 theoretical performance test projects, but what is unexpected is that 4 of them are all AMD victories. Although the lead is not large, it is basically able to complete the Zen 2 architecture.

Ryzen 7 3700X vs i9-9900K: Physical 3DMark calculation part

3DMARK is able to relieve the physics of the CPU: In this test, the Ryzen 7 3700X is much stronger than the i9-9900K, which is about 13% ahead.

Ryzen 7 3700X vs i9-9900K: game performance test

The difference in gaming performance between the two is not too big, but the Ryzen 7 3700X is slightly better. Given the CPU’s impact on the game, there is no large graphics card, so the superiority of Zen 2 can still be expressed.

Ryzen 7 3700X vs i9-9900K: current consumption temperature test

Power consumption and temperature test: After all of the above elements were abused by AMD, this element finally gave Intel i9-9900K a lost trust. After both sides have been downgraded to the same level, the Core i9-9900K has lower heat generation than AMD and lower power consumption.

Finally the same frequency test summary

By default, the i9-9900K can achieve the single-core score advantage of the i9-9900K CPU-Z from turbo to single-core 5.0GHz, full-core 4.7GHz, and after this round of low-frequency strike testing, the i9-9900K’s single-core score advantage was surpassed by the Ryzen 7 3700X. However, after shutdown, the i9-9900K consumes more power than the AMD processor and has a lower temperature.

This test shows that the same performance of the Ryzen 7 3700X and the i9-9900K is better than that of the i9-9900K, meaning that the AMD Zen 2 architecture has the same frequency IPC performance. Stronger than the Intel Core Coffee Lake, with a good architectural advantage to force 7nm.

Finally, a comprehensive performance comparison of all performance projects, Ryzen 7 3700X 4GHz comprehensive performance than i9-9900K be 7.8% stronger.

This is of course only a comparison test of the blocking frequency. As for the silent test, you can look down.

Different tasks require different CPU strengths. A system with few fast cores and low memory latency will be fine for the vast majority of games, but will be inferior to a system with a lot of slow cores in a rendering scenario.

We believe that a minimum of 4/4 (4 physical cores and 4 threads) processor is suitable for a budget gaming PC. At the same time, some games can load it at 100%, slow down and freeze, and performing any tasks in the background will lead to a drop in FPS.

Ideally, the budget shopper should aim for a minimum of 4/8 and 6/6. A gamer with a big budget can choose between 6/12, 8/8 and 8/16. Processors with 10 and 12 cores can perform well in games with high frequency and fast memory, but are overkill for such tasks. Also, buying for the future is a dubious undertaking, since in a few years many slow cores may not provide sufficient gaming performance.

When choosing a processor for your work, consider how many cores your programs use. For example, photo and video editors can use 1-2 cores when working with filtering, and rendering or converting in the same editors already uses all threads.

Data obtained from tests by users who tested their systems both with overclocking (maximum value in the table) and without (minimum). A typical result is shown in the middle, the more filled in the color bar, the better the average result among all tested systems.

Benchmarks

Benchmarks were run on stock hardware, that is, without overclocking and with factory settings. Therefore, on overclocked systems, the points can noticeably differ upwards. Also, small performance changes may be due to the BIOS version.

Multi-Threading Technology With Intel’s Hyper-threading and AMD’s SMT technology, one physical core is recognized as two logical cores by the operating system, thereby increasing processor performance in multi-threaded applications. Hyper-threading (note that some games may not work well with Hyper-threading, for maximum FPS you can disable the technology in the BIOS of the motherboard). SMT (note that some games may not work well with SMT, for maximum FPS, you can disable the technology in the BIOS of the motherboard).

Base frequencyGuaranteed frequency of all processor cores at maximum load. Performance in single-threaded and multi-threaded applications and games depends on it. It is important to remember that speed and frequency are not directly related. For example, a new processor at a lower frequency may be faster than an old one at a higher one. 3.6 GHz 3.8 GHz

Turbo frequencyThe maximum frequency of one processor core in turbo mode. Manufacturers allow modern processors to independently increase the frequency of one or more cores under heavy load, due to which performance is noticeably increased. It may depend on the nature of the load, the number of loaded cores, temperature and the specified limits. Significantly affects the speed in games and applications that are demanding on the frequency of the CPU. 5 No data
