Intel Core i5-8500T vs Intel Core i7-9750H

Core i5-8500T vs Core i7-9750H benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-9750H 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.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i7-9750H has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-9750H has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8500T. Also, the Core i7-9750H has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-8500T CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-9750H CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, both these CPUs have the same amount of L2 cache. The Core i7-9750H also has slightly more 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.
