Core i5-9500 vs Core i7-10875H benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-9500 is faster than the Core i7-10875H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-10875H in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-10875H has slightly more cores than the Core i5-9500. Indeed, the Core i7-10875H has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Core i5-9500. It also has more threads than the Core i5-9500. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-9500 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-10875H. Despite this, the Core i7-10875H has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-10875H outputs less heat than Core i5-9500 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Core i7-10875H has more L2 cache than the Core i5-9500. The Core i7-10875H 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 i5-9500 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
