Intel Core i7-9700KF vs Intel Core i7-1270P

Core i7-9700KF vs Core i7-1270P specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-1270P performs better than the Core i7-9700KF. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-9700KF in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-1270P has significantly more cores than the Core i7-9700KF. Indeed, the Core i7-1270P has 12 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Core i7-9700KF. It also has more threads than the Core i7-9700KF. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-9700KF has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-1270P. Also, the Core i7-9700KF has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-1270P 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. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i7-1270P has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-9700KF. The Core i7-1270P also has significantly more 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 i7-9700KF has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
