Core i5-9600T vs Core 5 120U specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-9600T beats the Core 5 120U in overall performance. Despite this, the Core 5 120U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the Core 5 120U has significantly more cores with 10 cores whereas the Core i5-9600T has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-9600T. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-9600T has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core 5 120U.

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 i5-9600T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
