Intel Core i7-9700KF vs Intel Core i5-11260H

Core i7-9700KF vs Core i5-11260H comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-9700KF is faster than the Core i5-11260H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-11260H in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i7-9700KF has slightly more cores with 8 cores whereas the Core i5-11260H has 6 cores. Despite this, the Core i5-11260H has more threads than the Core i7-9700KF. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-9700KF has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-11260H. Also, the Core i7-9700KF has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-11260H outputs less heat than Core i7-9700KF 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 i7-9700KF has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
