Intel Core i5-11400 vs Intel Core i5-9600KF

Core i5-11400 vs Core i5-9600KF comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-11400 is faster than the Core i5-9600KF. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-9600KF in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i5-11400 has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-9600KF has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-11400. Also, the Core i5-9600KF has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-11400 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-9600KF CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Core i5-11400 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-9600KF. The Core i5-11400 also has slightly more L3 cache.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i5-11400 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
