Intel Core i5-9500T vs Intel Core i7-10810U

Core i5-9500T vs Core i7-10810U specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-9500T beats the Core i7-10810U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-10810U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i7-10810U has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-9500T has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-10810U. Despite this, the Core i7-10810U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-10810U 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.

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