Intel Core i7-8700T vs Intel Core i5-9400F

Core i7-8700T vs Core i5-9400F benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-9400F beats the Core i7-8700T in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-8700T in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i7-8700T has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-9400F has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-8700T. Also, the Core i5-9400F has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-8700T CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-9400F CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches. The Core i7-8700T also has slightly more L3 cache.

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. Indeed, the Core i7-8700T has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
