Core i9-9880H vs Core i5-1340P specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-1340P beats the Core i9-9880H in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i9-9880H in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-1340P has significantly more cores than the Core i9-9880H. Indeed, the Core i5-1340P has 12 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Core i9-9880H. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i9-9880H has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-1340P. Also, the Core i9-9880H has a slightly higher turbo speed. In terms of cache, the Core i5-1340P has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i9-9880H. Despite this, the Core i9-9880H has slightly more L3 cache compared to the Core i5-1340P.

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 i9-9880H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
