Intel Core i7-9700T vs Intel Core i7-1255U

Core i7-9700T vs Core i7-1255U specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-1255U beats the Core i7-9700T in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-9700T in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-1255U has slightly more cores than the Core i7-9700T. Indeed, the Core i7-1255U has 10 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Core i7-9700T. It also has more threads than the Core i7-9700T. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-9700T has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-1255U. Despite this, the Core i7-1255U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-1255U outputs less heat than Core i7-9700T thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 i7-9700T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
