Specs overview

For starters, AMD Ryzen 7 2700 is based on AMD’s new 12 nm Zen+ architecture with a total of 8 cores and is able to execute up to 16 threads simultaneously thanks to the Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT). What’s more, it runs at a base frequency of 3.2 GHz that can be boosted up to 4.1 GHz. The specs sheet is complemented by 16MB of L3 Cache, support for up to a dual-channel DDR4 memory controller, as well as TDP rated at 65 W.

Now let’s cover the specs sheet of its opponent briefly. Intel Core i7-8750H is part of the 8th gen Coffee Lake-H architecture featuring six physical cores instead of the just four found on the Kaby Lake CPUs. Additionally, the base frequencies go up to 2.20 GHz, while the turbo speed can reach up to 4.10 GHz. Other specs include support for dual-channel DDR4-2666 memory, 9MB last level cache, 14nm FinFET manufacturing process, as well as TDP of 45W. As for the iGPU, here we see the Intel UHD Graphics 630 clocked at 300-1150 MHz.
