AMD Ryzen 7 3700X vs Intel Core i7-12700F

AMD Ryzen 7 3700X

► remove from comparison AMD R7 3700X

Der AMD Ryzen 7 3700X ist ein Desktop-Prozessor mit 8-Kernen und Hyperthreading (SMT), weshalb dieser 16 Threads gleichzeitig verarbeiten kann. Mit dem Launch am 07.07.2019 ist er nach dem Ryzen 7 3800X der zweitschnellste Ryzen 7 Prozessor und mit 65 Watt TDP deutlich sparsamer als das schnellste Ryzen 7 Modell.

Der Ryzen 7 3700X taktet mit 3,6 GHz Basistakt und kann per Turbo auf bis zu 4,4 GHz takten. Bei Last aller 8 Kerne erreicht der Ryzen 7 3700X maximal 4,1 GHz. Dank des Precision Boost 2 kann der Takt auf einem höheren Level gehalten werden, wie wir es schon von Zen+ her kennen.

Die Leistung des AMD Ryzen 7 3700X ist durchweg bei allen Anwendungen hervorragend. Vor allem bei Multi-Thread-Anwendungen kann hier der native 8-Kerner seine Stärken ausspielen und trotz der geringen TDP ist der Intel Core i9-9900K in Reichweite. Die beiden CCX-Cluster bestehend aus jeweils 4 CPU-Kernen befinden sich in einem CCD (je 4 Kerne mit eigenem 16 MByte L3 Cache). Dieser ist genau 74 mm² groß und wird im neuen 7 nm Verfahren bei TSMC gefertigt. Der I/O-Die ist separiert und kommt im mit der älteren 12 nm Strukturbreite daher, welcher weiterhin von Gobalfoundries gefertigt. 

Bei Spielen kann der AMD Ryzen 7 3700X dank der verbesserten IPC überzeugen. In Spielen erreicht der Ryzen 7 3700X etwa die Leistung eines Intel Core i7-8700K. Geschlagen geben muss sich der Ryzen momentan allerdings trotzdem, denn in den meisten Spielen bietet der Coffee-Lake-Prozessor etwas mehr Leistung. Zukünftige Unterstützung von mehr Kernen können das Blatt schnell wenden. 

Intel Core i7-12700F

► remove from comparison Intel i7-12700F

The Intel Core i7-12700F is a high end CPU for desktops based on the Alder Lake architecture. It was first announced in November 2021 and offers 8 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores. The performance cores (P-cores) support HyperThreading, leading to 20 threads that can be processed at once. The performance cores can clock with up to 4.9 GHz (Turbo Boost Max 3.0, 2.1 base), the efficiency cores can clock with up to 3.6 GHz (1.6 GHz base). All cores can use 25 MB Smart Cache. The integrated memory controller supports up to 128 GB DDR5 with 4800 MT/s (dual channel).

The Thread Director (in hardware) can support the operating system to decide which thread to use on the performance or efficiency cores for the best performance.

For AI tasks, the CPU also integrates GNA 3.0 and DL Boost. Quick Sync in version 8 is the same as in the Rocket Lake CPUs and supports MPEG-2, AVC, VC-1 decode, JPEG, VP8 decode, VP9, HEVC and AV1 decode in hardware.

The F-series desktop models don't offer an integrated graphics card.

The CPU is rated at 65 W base power and 180 Watt maximum Turbo power. It is manufactured in 10nm, called Intel 7, process at Intel.
