Core i7-9700F vs Core i9-11900H comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-9700F is faster than the Core i9-11900H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i9-11900H in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i9-11900H has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-9700F has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i9-11900H. Despite this, the Core i9-11900H has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i9-11900H 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.

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