Intel Core i7-9700K vs Intel Core i9-13900H

Core i7-9700K vs Core i9-13900H comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i9-13900H beats the Core i7-9700K in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i7-9700K has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i9-13900H has significantly more cores with 14 cores compared to the Core i7-9700K that has 8 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i7-9700K. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-9700K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i9-13900H. Despite this, the Core i9-13900H has a slightly higher turbo speed. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i9-13900H has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-9700K. The Core i9-13900H also has significantly more 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 i7-9700K has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
