Intel Core i9-12900T vs Intel Core i7-13700HX

Core i9-12900T vs Core i7-13700HX comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-13700HX is faster than the Core i9-12900T. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i9-12900T in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-13700HX has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i9-12900T. Also, the Core i7-13700HX has a slightly higher turbo speed. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i7-13700HX has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i9-12900T. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

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 i9-12900T has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
