Core i5-9500T vs FX-8350 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-9500T performs better than the FX-8350. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the FX-8350 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 FX-8350 that has 4 cores. Despite this, the FX-8350 has more threads than the Core i5-9500T. Our comparison shows that the FX-8350 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-9500T. Also, the FX-8350 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-9500T CPU outputs less heat than a FX-8350 CPU because of its 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.
