Intel Core i7-9700F vs Intel Core i5-1245U

Core i7-9700F vs Core i5-1245U comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-9700F performs better than the Core i5-1245U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-1245U in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-1245U has slightly more cores than the Core i7-9700F. Indeed, the Core i5-1245U has 10 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Core i7-9700F. It also has more threads than the Core i7-9700F. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-9700F has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-1245U. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i5-1245U has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-9700F. However, both these chips have the same amount of 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. For instance, the Core i7-9700F has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
