Intel Core i7-9700F vs Intel Core i5-13420H

Core i7-9700F vs Core i5-13420H comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-9700F performs better than the Core i5-13420H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-13420H in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i5-13420H has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-9700F has a much higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-13420H. Also, the Core i7-9700F has a slightly higher turbo speed. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i5-13420H has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-9700F. 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 i7-9700F has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
