Core i5-11600KF vs Core Ultra 7 258V specs and performance
In our benchmarks, the Core i5-11600KF beats the Core Ultra 7 258V in overall performance. Despite this, the Core Ultra 7 258V has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core Ultra 7 258V has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Core i5-11600KF that has 6 cores. Despite this, the Core i5-11600KF has more threads than the Core Ultra 7 258V. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-11600KF has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core Ultra 7 258V. Also, the Core i5-11600KF has a slightly higher turbo speed. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core Ultra 7 258V has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-11600KF. However, both these chips have the same amount of 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. Indeed, the Core i5-11600KF has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
