Intel Core i3-9100F vs Intel Core i7-5700HQ

Core i3-9100F vs Core i7-5700HQ specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-9100F is faster than the Core i7-5700HQ. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-5700HQ in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i7-5700HQ has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-9100F has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-5700HQ. Also, the Core i3-9100F has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-5700HQ outputs less heat than Core i3-9100F thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, both these CPUs have the same amount of L2 cache and L3 cache.

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 i3-9100F has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
