AMD Ryzen 7 5700X vs Intel Core i7-10700 vs AMD Ryzen 9 5950X

AMD Ryzen 7 5700X

► remove from comparison AMD R7 5700X

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X is a desktop processor with 8 cores and simultaneous multithreading (SMT), which means it can process 16 threads simultaneously. In April 2022, AMD presented the Ryzen 7 5700X, a new 8-core processor that is very similar to the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X. However, due to the lower TDP, there are no restrictions on the clock frequency. Nevertheless, the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X reaches up to 4.6 GHz in boost, which is only 100 MHz less than the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X. However, the base clock drops significantly to 3.4 GHz.

The performance of the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X is consistently excellent in all applications. The native 8-core can really show off its strengths, especially in multi-threaded applications, although the single-core performance has also been significantly improved compared to the older Zen 2 architecture.

The internal structure of the processor is similar to the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X. The CCX modules are also connected to each other via the I/O die, which we already know from Zen2. However, according to AMD, the Infinity Fabric should now achieve clock rates of up to 2 GHz, which in turn enables a RAM clock rate of 4,000 MHz without any loss of performance.

In terms of manufacturing processes, AMD also relies on TSCM for the 7nm production of the CPU cores in the Vermeer processors, although the I/O die is still supplied in 12 nm by Globalfoundries.

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X is impressive in gaming thanks to the significantly improved IPC compared to Zen2. In terms of power consumption, the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X impresses with its low TDP of just 65 watts. This means that the processor can also be operated with a compact air cooler without any problems. The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X is operated with a TDP of 105 watts.

Intel Core i7-10700

► remove from comparison

The Intel Core i7-10700 is a high-end desktop CPU based on the Comet Lake architecture. The CPU offers 8 cores and 16 threads clocked at 2.9 - 4.8 GHz. All cores can run at up to 4.6 GHz.

Compared to the older Core i7-9700, the 10700 now enables HyperThreading and therefore in some applications a nice performance boost. The single core performance is quite similar.

The chip is manufactured on 14nm++ process at Intel. The TDP is rated at 65 Watt (PL1) but the PL2 is set to 224 Watt for short term boosts (up to 28 seconds).

AMD Ryzen 9 5950X

► remove from comparison AMD R9 5950X

The AMD Ryzen 9 5950X is a high-end 16-core, hyperthreaded (SMT) Vermeer Series desktop processor. With 32 threads, the new flagship offers as many threads as the AMD Ryzen 9 3950X. Introduced on October 8, 2020, the Ryzen 9 5950X is the fastest 16-core processor and is specified at 105 watts TDP.

The Ryzen 9 5950X runs at 3.4 GHz to 4.9 GHz (single core). Wen all 16 cores are loaded, up to 4.5 GHz are still possible.

The internal structure of the processor has not changed fundamentally at first glance. The CCX structure has changed a bit compared to Zen 2, because now a CCX consists of up to 8 CPU cores. So each individual core can access the complete L3 cache (32 MByte). Furthermore the CCX modules are connected to each other via the same I/O die, which we already know from Zen2. According to AMD, the Infinity fabric should now reach clock rates of up to 2 Ghz, which in turn allows a RAM clock of 4,000 MHz without performance loss.

Performance

The average 5950X in our database matches the Core i9-12900K, the Core i9-12900HX and also the Ryzen Threadripper 2970WX in multi-thread performance, making this Ryzen a great processor for pretty much any task imaginable as of mid 2022.

Power consumption

This Ryzen 9 series chip has a default TDP (also known as the long-term power limit) of 105 W. It will, however, happily consume much more than that as long as the cooling solution is able to handle the heat - even before one starts considering the possibility of overclocking the thing.

The Ryzen 9 5950X is built with TSMC's 7 nm process for average, as of mid 2023, energy efficiency.
