In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i9-13950HX has significantly more cores than the Core i7-9700. Indeed, the Core i9-13950HX has 24 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Core i7-9700. It also has more threads than the Core i7-9700. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-9700 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i9-13950HX. Despite this, the Core i9-13950HX has a slightly higher turbo speed. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i9-13950HX has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-9700. The Core i9-13950HX also has significantly 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. For instance, the Core i7-9700 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
