Intel Core i5-9500T vs Intel Core i7-1185G7

Core i5-9500T vs Core i7-1185G7 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-9500T performs better than the Core i7-1185G7. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-1185G7 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-9500T has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Core i7-1185G7 that has 4 cores. Despite this, the Core i7-1185G7 has more threads than the Core i5-9500T. The Core i7-1185G7 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.
