Core i7-9700K vs Core Ultra 7 268V benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core Ultra 7 268V beats the Core i7-9700K in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-9700K in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-9700K has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core Ultra 7 268V. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core Ultra 7 268V has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-9700K. However, both these chips have the same amount of 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.
