Intel Core i5-9600KF vs Intel Core i5-1155G7

Core i5-9600KF vs Core i5-1155G7 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-9600KF is faster than the Core i5-1155G7. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-1155G7 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-9600KF has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Core i5-1155G7 that has 4 cores. Despite this, the Core i5-1155G7 has more threads than the Core i5-9600KF. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-9600KF has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-1155G7. Also, the Core i5-9600KF has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-1155G7 outputs less heat than Core i5-9600KF 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 i5-9600KF has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
