i7-11700K vs Ryzen Threadripper 1900X - Dead Space Graphics 448SP Mobile - Game Performance Benchmarks

Multi-Thread Performance

Single-Thread Performance

i7-11700K

• The i7-11700K is more power efficient and generates less heat.
• The i7-11700K has a higher turbo clock boost. Turbo Boost is a CPU feature that will run CPU clock speed faster than its base clock, if certain conditions are present. It will enable older software that runs on fewer cores, to perform better on newer hardware. Since games are software too, it is also applicable to them.

Ryzen Threadripper 1900X

• The Ryzen Threadripper 1900X has higher Level 2 Cache. Data/instructions which have to be processed can be loaded from the fast L2 and the CPU does not have to wait for the very slow DDR RAM
• The Ryzen Threadripper 1900X has higher Level 3 Cache. This is useful when you have substantial multiprocessing workloads, many computationally intense simultaneous processes. More likely on a server, less on a personally used computer for interactive desktop workloads.
• For some games, a cpu with a higher clock speed, or in a technical name IPC (Instructions per clock), has better results than other CPU's with higher core count and lower core speed.
