Intel Core i7-9700 vs Intel Core Ultra 7 256V

Core i7-9700 vs Core Ultra 7 256V specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-9700 is faster than the Core Ultra 7 256V. Despite this, the Core Ultra 7 256V has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-9700 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core Ultra 7 256V. Despite this, the Core Ultra 7 256V has a slightly higher turbo speed. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core Ultra 7 256V has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-9700. However, both these chips have the same amount of 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.
