Intel Core i5-9500T vs Intel Core i7-14700

Core i5-9500T vs Core i7-14700 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-14700 performs better than the Core i5-9500T. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-9500T in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-14700 has significantly more cores than the Core i5-9500T. Indeed, the Core i7-14700 has 20 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Core i5-9500T. It also has more threads than the Core i5-9500T. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-9500T has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-14700. Despite this, the Core i7-14700 has a significantly higher turbo speed.

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.
