Intel Core i5-8500T vs Intel Core i5-9500

Core i5-8500T vs Core i5-9500 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-9500 performs better than the Core i5-8500T. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-8500T in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-9500 has a much higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8500T. Also, the Core i5-9500 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-8500T CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-9500 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical 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 i5-8500T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
