Core i5-8500T vs Core i5-9500T comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-8500T is faster than the Core i5-9500T. Despite this, the Core i5-9500T has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-9500T has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8500T. Also, the Core i5-9500T has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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. For instance, the Core i5-8500T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
