Intel Core i7-9700K vs Intel Core 5 210H

Core i7-9700K vs Core 5 210H comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-9700K beats the Core 5 210H in overall performance. Despite this, the Core 5 210H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core 5 210H has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-9700K has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core 5 210H. Also, the Core i7-9700K has a slightly higher turbo speed. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core 5 210H has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-9700K. 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 i7-9700K has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
