Intel Core i5-9600T vs Intel Core i7-3820

Core i5-9600T vs Core i7-3820 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-9600T beats the Core i7-3820 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-3820 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-9600T has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Core i7-3820 that has 4 cores. Despite this, the Core i7-3820 has more threads than the Core i5-9600T. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-3820 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i5-9600T. Despite this, the Core i5-9600T has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-9600T CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-3820 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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.
