Intel Core i5-8500T vs Intel Core i7-9700F

Core i5-8500T vs Core i7-9700F benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-9700F is faster than the Core i5-8500T. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-8500T in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i7-9700F has slightly more cores with 8 cores whereas the Core i5-8500T has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-8500T. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-9700F has a much higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8500T. Also, the Core i7-9700F has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-8500T CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-9700F CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i7-9700F has slightly more L2 cache than the Core i5-8500T. The Core i7-9700F also has slightly more L3 cache.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. For instance, the Core i5-8500T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
