Intel Core i9-9900 vs Intel Core Ultra 7 268V

Core i9-9900 vs Core Ultra 7 268V specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i9-9900 performs better than the Core Ultra 7 268V. Despite this, the Core Ultra 7 268V has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i9-9900 has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i9-9900 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core Ultra 7 268V. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core Ultra 7 268V has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i9-9900. Despite this, the Core i9-9900 has slightly more L3 cache compared to the Core Ultra 7 268V.

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.
