Core i5-11600KF vs Core i9-9820X specs and performance
According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i9-9820X is faster than the Core i5-11600KF. Despite this, the Core i5-11600KF has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i9-9820X has significantly more cores with 10 cores compared to the Core i5-11600KF that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-11600KF. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-11600KF has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i9-9820X. Also, the Core i5-11600KF has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-11600KF CPU outputs less heat than a Core i9-9820X CPU because of its slightly 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. Indeed, the Core i5-11600KF has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
