Intel Core i5-9600T vs Intel Core i7-4790S

Core i5-9600T vs Core i7-4790S comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-9600T beats the Core i7-4790S in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4790S in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i5-9600T has significantly more cores with 6 cores whereas the Core i7-4790S has 4 cores. Despite this, the Core i7-4790S has more threads than the Core i5-9600T. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-4790S has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-9600T. Also, the Core i7-4790S has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-9600T CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-4790S CPU because of its 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.
