Core i9-9900 vs Core i9-13900H comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i9-9900 is faster than the Core i9-13900H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i9-13900H in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i9-13900H has significantly more cores with 14 cores compared to the Core i9-9900 that has 8 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i9-9900. Our comparison shows that the Core i9-9900 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i9-13900H. Despite this, the Core i9-13900H has a slightly higher turbo speed. The info from our database shows that the Core i9-13900H has more L2 cache than the Core i9-9900. The Core i9-13900H also has significantly more 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 i9-9900 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
