Core i7-9700KF vs Core Ultra 7 268V specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-9700KF beats the Core Ultra 7 268V in overall performance. Despite this, the Core Ultra 7 268V has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

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 7 268V. The info from our database shows that the Core Ultra 7 268V has more L2 cache than the Core i7-9700KF. However, both these chips have the same amount of 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.
