AMD Ryzen 7 vs Intel Core i7 – the best one?

Yet another tough competition in the field of processors – AMD Ryzen 7 Vs Intel Core i7. Both of them share the same features in case of performance. One of that is the 8 cores and 16 threads which are common in both of them. But there will be something different and competing of which this post is written.

Let’s try to find out what are the comparing terms that make them be different from each other. We have tried to categorize them in questions and comparisons to make it easy to differentiate.

Ryzen7 Vs i7 – Which is better?

Statistics	AMD Ryzen 7	Intel Core i7
Cores – Threads	8 – 16	8 – 16
Base speed	3.8 GHz	3.6 GHz
Architecture	Zen3	Ice Lake
Integrated Graphics	Radeon Vega	Intel UHD Graphics
RAM Compatibility	DDR4, LPDDR4	DDR4 – 3200, LPDDR4x – 4267

 Talking about the specifications of both these processors, AMD ryzen7 has 3-level cache and has a better video processing, but it lacks in hexa-core option. While Core i7 is available with hexa-core option with all processors comprising GPUs.

Additionally, we will get many options to choose from different laptops in case of i7 processor. This makes Core i7 a better and effective one than the AMD Ryzen7 processor.

Apart from this, the power efficiency of AMD Ryzen 7 proves to be a better option resulting in long lasting battery life.

AMD Ryzen 7 Vs Core i7 – Which is better in gaming performance?

AMD Ryzen 7 wins the battle with all its slightly better features which made it to outperform better. But both of these processors are not that effective as to play modern generation games. They require much further hardware additions to get to the level of playing modern generation games.

Both of them perform well for the games which needs a lot of processing and for the freemium games.

Recently AMD Ryzen 7 5700G has set to have the fastest GPU in the market, which offers as twice as any intel processor. By this it can be concluded that AMD Ryzen 7 is much better than Core i7 processor.

Which is better in multitasking?

 Multitasking tends to be more prior to anyone around there. Every one needs their laptop to perform multiple tasks flawlessly. Multitasking depends upon the number of threads the processor consists of. More the number of threads faster will be the performance of the processor.

Moreover, it is also responsible for the smooth running of system while having the background apps running besides. Hence, AMD Ryzen 7 processor which has higher number of cores and threads can easily handle multithreaded applications. And is capable of multitasking abilities compared to the other processors.

Talking about the i7 processor, it can also do multitasking by running multiple programs at once. In the Intel series i7 is better than the i5 processor in case of multithreading. 

So, finally the battle between AMD Ryzen7 and Core i7 for multitasking can be concluded here ending with the most powerful side wins i.e., AMD Ryzen7. With the higher number of threads Ryzen7 easily beats i7, which can double the capabilities of multitasking.

AMD Ryzen7 Vs Intel Core i7 – Which is faster?

Is the Intel Core i7 CPU speedier than AMD’s Ryzen 7 processor? We are unable to make a firm statement. Ryzen 7 can outperform Intel in some workloads and vice versa. However, if you only need a simple computer, either will suffice or may even be overkill. And if you are not happy with your current device, maybe it is time to upgrade or trade up?

Intel Core i7-11700K Vs AMD Ryzen 7 5800X

At the $400 price bracket, the Intel Core i7-11700K versus AMD Ryzen 7 5800X duel is a raging war for dominance. These two chips compete for a spot on our list of Best CPUs for Gaming by competing for position on our CPU Benchmark hierarchy, but they each have their own quirks.

AMD went to premium pricing for their admittedly premium products with the introduction of the Ryzen 5000 line. Although this is a smart financial choice, it has not been well received by aficionados. AMD also left a glaring gap in its product stack that exacerbates the issue — there’s a massive $150 gulf between the six-core $299 Ryzen 5 5600X and the eight-core 16-thread $449 Ryzen 7 5800X.

Intel core i7 12700 Vs AMD Ryzen 7 5800X

Both CPUs will deliver great performance in both gaming and content creation tasks, there’s no doubt about it. With a respectable set of specs on paper, we’re looking at two high-end CPUs going head-to-head. The performance cores of the Core i7 have a base speed of 3.60GHz, whereas the Ryzen 7’s basic octa-core version has a 3.8GHz base clock. The P-cores of the Core i7-12700K can attain a boost clock speed of 4.7GHz when overclocked, while the Ryzen 7 5800X can likewise touch 4.7GHz when overclocked. The fact that the Core i7-12700K supports Turbo Boost Max 3.0 allows it to reach 5.0GHz in some cores for single-threaded applications.

In real-world benchmarks, all of these raw statistics favour the Core i7-12700K. While both CPUs perform admirably in many benchmarks, the Core i7-12700K outperforms the Ryzen 7 5800X by anywhere between 15-20%. The Intel Core i7-12700K finds a sweet spot in the performance charts between the Intel Core i5-12600K and the Intel Core i9-12900K. The Core i7-12700K taking the lead to beat the Ryzen 7 5800X isn’t surprising, given how the Core i5-12600K was able to match the Ryzen 7 5800X’s overall performance in many cases.

Final Verdict

It’s still too early to tell how well Intel’s Core i7-12700K will perform against AMD’s Ryzen 7 5800X. But one thing is certain: creating a bespoke PC using Intel will cost far more than building one with AMD. Buying Intel, on the other hand, will set you up for many years to come. As more hardware that supports DDR5 and PCIe 5.0 becomes available, your system will be able to provide you with better performance.

The Ryzen 7 5800X is also a fantastic choice because processor uses far less power than the Alder Lake series. Also, while you’re putting your system together, it won’t cost you a lot of money.
