Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-9700KF has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core Ultra 5 226V. Also, the Core i7-9700KF has a slightly higher turbo speed. The info from our database shows that the Core Ultra 5 226V has more L2 cache than the Core i7-9700KF. Despite this, the Core i7-9700KF has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Core Ultra 5 226V.

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.
