Core i7-9700T vs Core i9-9980HK benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-9700T is faster than the Core i9-9980HK. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i9-9980HK in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i9-9980HK has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i9-9980HK has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-9700T. Also, the Core i9-9980HK has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-9700T CPU outputs less heat than a Core i9-9980HK CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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