Core i7-9700F vs Core Ultra 5 135U comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-9700F is faster than the Core Ultra 5 135U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core Ultra 5 135U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core Ultra 5 135U has significantly more cores with 12 cores compared to the Core i7-9700F that has 8 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i7-9700F. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-9700F has a much higher clock speed compared to the Core Ultra 5 135U. Also, the Core i7-9700F has a slightly higher turbo speed. In terms of cache, the Core Ultra 5 135U has significantly more L2 cache when compared to 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.
