Core i7-11700 vs Core i5-12490F comparison
According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-11700 is faster than the Core i5-12490F. Despite this, the Core i5-12490F has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-11700 has slightly more cores than the Core i5-12490F. Indeed, the Core i7-11700 has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Core i5-12490F. It also has more threads than the Core i5-12490F. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-12490F has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-11700. Despite this, the Core i7-11700 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-12490F outputs less heat than Core i7-11700 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i5-12490F has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-11700. The Core i5-12490F also has slightly more L3 cache.
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. Indeed, the Core i7-11700 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
