Core i9-8950HK vs Core i5-1245U benchmarks
In our benchmarks, the Core i5-1245U beats the Core i9-8950HK in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i9-8950HK in all gaming tests too.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-1245U has significantly more cores than the Core i9-8950HK. Indeed, the Core i5-1245U has 10 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Core i9-8950HK. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i9-8950HK has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-1245U. In terms of cache, the Core i5-1245U has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i9-8950HK. 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 i9-8950HK has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
