Core i9-8950HK vs Core i7-1185G7 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i9-8950HK beats the Core i7-1185G7 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-1185G7 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i9-8950HK has significantly more cores with 6 cores whereas the Core i7-1185G7 has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i7-1185G7. The Core i7-1185G7 outputs less heat than Core i9-8950HK thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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.
