Intel Core i9-9900KF vs Intel Core i9-11950H

Core i9-9900KF vs Core i9-11950H specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i9-9900KF performs better than the Core i9-11950H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i9-11950H in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i9-9900KF 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 i9-9900KF thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 i9-9900KF has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
