Intel Core i7-9700 vs Intel Core i5-1235U

Core i7-9700 vs Core i5-1235U comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-9700 is faster than the Core i5-1235U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-1235U in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-1235U has slightly more cores than the Core i7-9700. Indeed, the Core i5-1235U has 10 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Core i7-9700. It also has more threads than the Core i7-9700. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-9700 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-1235U. Also, the Core i7-9700 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-1235U outputs less heat than Core i7-9700 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Core i5-1235U has more L2 cache than the Core i7-9700. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. For instance, the Core i7-9700 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
