I'm looking to upgrade my CPU and I'm having a hard time deciding between the AMD Ryzen 7 3700X and the Intel Core i7-11700F. Can anyone share their thoughts on which one has better multi-thread performance?
AMD Ryzen 7 3700X vs. Intel Core i7-11700F Multi-Thread Performance?

Based on my experience, the Ryzen 7 3700X has superior multi-thread performance compared to the Core i7-11700F. The 3700X comes with an additional 16 threads and a larger L3 cache size of 32 MB, which makes it more efficient for tasks that can utilize multiple cores simultaneously.
@MatryxMercy is correct! I've used both CPUs and can vouch for the Ryzen 7 3700X's efficiency in handling multi-threaded tasks. Additionally, I found a TechReviewer article AMD Ryzen 7 3700X vs. Intel Core i7-11700F comparing these two CPUs which goes into detail about their performance differences. It might be helpful to check it out before making your decision.
@MatryxMercy and @Beto1989! That information helps a lot. The Ryzen 7 3700X seems more suitable for my needs since I do a lot of video editing and rendering which require heavy multi-threaded processing. Would either CPU's gaming performance be significantly different?
While both CPUs have good gaming performance, the Ryzen 7 3700X has an edge due to its higher single-core max boost frequency and overall efficiency. However, the Core i7-11700F is still a capable choice for gaming.
Good to know! The Ryzen 7 3700X seems like a better fit for my needs then. I'll read up on the TechReviewer article @Beto1989 mentioned and make my final decision. Thanks for the help, everyone!
You're welcome, @MakeMyMark! Let me know if you have any more questions or need further clarification. Good luck with your CPU upgrade!
