Intel Core i9-9880H vs Intel Core i7-1260P

Core i9-9880H vs Core i7-1260P comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-1260P performs better than the Core i9-9880H. 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 i7-1260P has significantly more cores than the Core i9-9880H. Indeed, the Core i7-1260P has 12 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Core i9-9880H. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i9-9880H has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-1260P. Also, the Core i9-9880H has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-1260P outputs less heat than Core i9-9880H thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i7-1260P has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i9-9880H. The Core i7-1260P also has slightly more L3 cache.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i9-9880H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
