Intel Core i7-9800X vs Intel Core 7 240H

Core i7-9800X vs Core 7 240H comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core 7 240H is faster than the Core i7-9800X. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-9800X in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core 7 240H has slightly more cores than the Core i7-9800X. Indeed, the Core 7 240H has 10 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Core i7-9800X. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-9800X has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core 7 240H. Despite this, the Core 7 240H has a slightly higher turbo speed.

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. Indeed, the Core i7-9800X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
