Core i7-9700T vs Ryzen 5 5500GT benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-9700T performs better than the Ryzen 5 5500GT. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 5500GT has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-9700T has significantly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 5500GT that has 3 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 5500GT. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 5500GT has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-9700T.

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