Core i7-11700F vs Core i7-9700F comparison
In our benchmarks, the Core i7-11700F beats the Core i7-9700F in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-9700F in all gaming tests too.
When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i7-11700F has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-9700F has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-11700F. Despite this, the Core i7-11700F has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). 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 i7-11700F has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-9700F. The Core i7-11700F 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 i7-11700F has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
