Intel Core i5-9500 vs Intel Core i7-4800MQ

Core i5-9500 vs Core i7-4800MQ specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-9500 performs better than the Core i7-4800MQ. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4800MQ in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-9500 has significantly more cores than the Core i7-4800MQ. Indeed, the Core i5-9500 has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i7-4800MQ. Despite this, the Core i7-4800MQ 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 i7-4800MQ. Also, the Core i5-9500 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-4800MQ outputs less heat than Core i5-9500 thanks to a slightly 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 i5-9500 has more L2 cache than the Core i7-4800MQ. The Core i5-9500 also has significantly more L3 cache.

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 i5-9500 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
