About the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X CPU

The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X is a 16-core (32-thread) processor built for the desktop CPU market. It launched in Q3 2017 with a suggested retail price of $999. It is part of AMD's Ryzen Threadripper lineup, which is based on the Zen microarchitecture. The Threadripper 1950X is compatible with AMD Socket SP3r2 motherboards and is fabricated on GlobalFoundries's 14 nm manufacturing process.

Memory and Cache

The Ryzen Threadripper 1950X supports DDR4 memory and features a quad-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 4 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Ryzen Threadripper 1950X has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 96 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 512 KB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 32 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Ryzen Threadripper 1950X features 16 total cores which can process 32 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 3.4 GHz, and it can boost up to 4.0 GHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is unlocked, enabling overclocking for those seeking to push the CPU's performance further.

Integrated Graphics

The Ryzen Threadripper 1950X does not include an integrated graphics solution. A dedicated graphics card will be required if you require a monitor with your computer.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The Ryzen Threadripper 1950X has the 95th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 48.21% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D. Its 17,834 score and $999 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 17.85. This is the 166th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Perf. Physics benchmark.

About the Intel Core i7-12700F CPU

The Intel Core i7-12700F is a 12-core (20-thread) processor built for the desktop CPU market. It launched in Q1 2022 with a suggested retail price of $324. It is part of Intel's Core i7 lineup, which is based on the Alder Lake-S microarchitecture. The i7-12700F is compatible with Intel Socket 1700 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 10 nm manufacturing process. It is bundled a Laminar RM1 cooler.

Memory and Cache

The Core i7-12700F supports DDR4-3200, DDR5-4800 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Core i7-12700F has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 80 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 1.25 MB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 25 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Core i7-12700F features 12 total cores which can process 20 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The 12 cores consist of 8 P-Cores and 4 E-Cores. P-Cores are designed for high-performance tasks and E-Cores are intended for efficiency and lighter tasks. The base clock speed of the CPU is 2.1 GHz, and it can boost up to 4.9 GHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is locked, making it incapable of overclocking for pushing performance further.

Integrated Graphics

The Core i7-12700F does not include an integrated graphics solution. A dedicated graphics card will be required if you require a monitor with your computer.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The Core i7-12700F has the 38th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 64.20% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D. Its 23,748 score and $324 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 73.3. This is the 20th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Perf. Physics benchmark.
