Intel Core i9-13900F vs Intel Core i9-13900HX

Core i9-13900F vs Core i9-13900HX specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i9-13900F beats the Core i9-13900HX in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i9-13900HX in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i9-13900HX has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i9-13900F. Despite this, the Core i9-13900F has a slightly higher turbo speed. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i9-13900HX has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i9-13900F. 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 i9-13900F has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
