Ryzen 7 3700x vs i7 9700k vs Ryzen 7 3800x
Some people may want to know about Ryzen 7 3700x vs i7 9700k and Ryzen 7 3800x vs i7 9700k. Here is a table showing Ryzen 7 3700x vs i7 9700k vs Ryzen 7 3800x specs. After viewing this table, you can know which one is suitable for you.
| CPU Model | Ryzen 7 3700x | i7-9700k | Ryzen 7 3800x |
| Architecture | Zen 2 | Coffee Lake-R | Zen 2 |
| Lithography | 7nm | 14nm | 7nm |
| Core/Thread | 8/16 | 8/8 | 8/16 |
| Base/Boost Frequency | 3.6/4.4 | 3.6/4.9 | 3.9/4.5 |
| L3 Cache | 32MB | 12MB | 32MB |
| TDP | 65W | 95 W | 105W |
| Price | $279.99 | $299.99 | $332.95 |
- In general, smaller lithography number means more advanced process.
- The number of threads is double that of core, which means that the CPU has used Hyper-Threading technology. This technology can effectively utilize the spare capacity of the CPU when the program optimization is very poor. But when the program optimization is very good, the core simulated by hyper-threading won’t perform as well as the eukaryotic core.
- In terms of TDP, when two CPUs have the same performance, the CPU that has lower TDP is better.
Which CPU is more suitable for you? All of the 3 CPUs are expensive. But to balance budget and performance, I will choose Intel i7-9700k.
