Intel Core i5-9600KF vs Intel Core i5-9400F

Core i5-9600KF vs Core i5-9400F benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-9600KF performs better than the Core i5-9400F. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-9400F in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-9600KF has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-9400F. Also, the Core i5-9600KF has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-9400F 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 data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches and L3 cache.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. For instance, the Core i5-9600KF has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
