Intel Core i7-9700F vs Intel Core i5-11260H

Core i7-9700F vs Core i5-11260H benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-9700F beats the Core i5-11260H in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-11260H in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-9700F has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Core i5-11260H that has 6 cores. Despite this, the Core i5-11260H has more threads than the Core i7-9700F. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-9700F has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-11260H. Also, the Core i7-9700F has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-11260H outputs less heat than Core i7-9700F thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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. For instance, the Core i7-9700F has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
