Core i3-8350K vs Core i5-9600T benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-8350K beats the Core i5-9600T in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-9600T in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i5-9600T has significantly more cores with 6 cores whereas the Core i3-8350K has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i3-8350K. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-8350K has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-9600T. The Core i5-9600T outputs less heat than Core i3-8350K thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. For instance, the Core i3-8350K has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
