AMD Ryzen 7 5700X vs Intel Processor N97 vs AMD Ryzen 7 5800X

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 Processor N97

► remove from comparison Intel N97

The Intel Processor N97 is an entry-level mobile CPU for thin and light laptops from the Alder Lake-N series. It was announced in early 2023 and offers no performance cores and 4 of the 8 efficient cores (E-cores, Gracemont architecture). The chip does not support HyperThreading and clocks with up to 3.7 GHz. The performance of the E-cores should be similar to old Skylake cores (compare to the Core i7-6700HQ). All cores can use up to 6 MB L3-cache. 

Performance

The performance should be between the Intel Processor N100 and Intel Processor N200 and clearly below the Core i3-N300 and N305 due to the reduced core count. 

Features

The Alder Lake-N chips only support single channel memory with up to DDR5-4800, DDR4-3200 or LPDDR5-4800. The chip also supports Quick Sync and AV1 decoding (most likely same engine as in Alder Lake). Furthermore, Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2 are partly integrated (but no Thunderbolt). External chips can be connected via PCIe Gen3 x9 (via the PCH).

The integrated graphics adapter is based on the Xe-architecture and offers only 24 of the 32 EUs (Execution Units) operating at 1200 MHz. Due to the single channel memory, low clock speeds, and low shader count, the gaming performance of the iGPU is very limited.

Power consumption

The N97 has a base power consumption of 12 W and therefore double the amount of the N100. The CPU is built with a further improved 10nm SuperFin process at Intel (called Intel 7).

AMD Ryzen 7 5800X

► remove from comparison AMD R7 5800X

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X is an 8-core desktop processor with Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT), which allows it to process 16 threads simultaneously. With its launch on 08.10.2020, it is the fastest 8-core processor from AMD. The second fastest 8-core processor will be the AMD Ryzen 7 3800XT, followed by the more economical AMD Ryzen 7 3700X, also with 8 cores and 16 threads.

The Ryzen 7 5800X clocks with a base clock of 3.8 GHz and reaches up to 4.7 GHz on one core in turbo mode. When all 8 cores are utilized, the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X, like the AMD Ryzen 9 5900X, achieves up to 4.5 GHz.

At first glance, the internal structure of the processor has not changed fundamentally. The CCX structure has changed somewhat compared to Zen2, 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 2Ghz, which in turn allows a RAM clock of 4.000 MHz without performance loss.

Performance

The average 5800X in our database is in the same league as the Core i9-10900K and also the Core i7-12700F, as far as multi-thread benchmark scores are concerned.

In games, AMD's Ryzen 7 5800X can convince with its significantly improved IPC and even put Intel in its place. With the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X, gamers are well prepared for the future as simultaneous streaming is no problem with the new Ryzen 7 5800X. Semi-professional content creators, who need even more power, can choose a Ryzen 9 5900X or the Ryzen 9 5950X on the shelf.

Power consumption

The Ryzen 7 has a default TDP (also known as the long-term power limit) of 105 W. This applies as long as the CPU runs at stock clock speeds.

Ryzen 7 5800X is built with TSMC's 7 nm process; as rumors have it, the I/O die is manufactured separately on the 12 nm Global Foundries process.
