Core i5-9600KF vs Core i7-1355U comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-9600KF performs better than the Core i7-1355U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-1355U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-1355U has significantly more cores with 10 cores compared to the Core i5-9600KF that has 6 cores. It also 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 i7-1355U. Despite this, the Core i7-1355U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The info from our database shows that the Core i7-1355U has more L2 cache than the Core i5-9600KF. The Core i7-1355U also has slightly more L3 cache.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. For instance, the Core i5-9600KF has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
