Core i5-9500T vs Core i3-1215U comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-1215U is faster than the Core i5-9500T. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-9500T in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i3-1215U has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-9500T has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-1215U. Despite this, the Core i3-1215U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i3-1215U outputs less heat than Core i5-9500T thanks to a significantly lower TDP. 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 i5-9500T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
