Core i9-9900K vs Core i9-11950H benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i9-9900K is faster than the Core i9-11950H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i9-11950H in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i9-9900K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i9-11950H. In addition, both chips have the same turbo speed. The Core i9-11950H outputs less heat than Core i9-9900K thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i9-9900K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
