Core i5-9600KF vs Core i5-1240P comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-9600KF performs better than the Core i5-1240P. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-1240P in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-1240P has significantly more cores than the Core i5-9600KF. Indeed, the Core i5-1240P has 12 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Core i5-9600KF. It also has more threads than the Core i5-9600KF. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-9600KF has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i5-1240P. Also, the Core i5-9600KF has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-1240P 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. The info from our database shows that the Core i5-1240P has more L2 cache than the Core i5-9600KF. The Core i5-1240P also has slightly more L3 cache.

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.
