Intel Core i5-9600T vs Intel Core i3-N305

Core i5-9600T vs Core i3-N305 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-9600T is faster than the Core i3-N305. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-N305 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i3-N305 has slightly more cores than the Core i5-9600T. Indeed, the Core i3-N305 has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Core i5-9600T. It also has more threads than the Core i5-9600T. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-9600T has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-N305. Also, the Core i5-9600T has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i3-N305 outputs less heat than Core i5-9600T 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 i5-9600T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
