Intel Core i9-9980HK vs Intel Core i7-9700F

Core i9-9980HK vs Core i7-9700F comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-9700F is faster than the Core i9-9980HK. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i9-9980HK in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i9-9980HK has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-9700F has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i9-9980HK. Despite this, the Core i9-9980HK has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i9-9980HK CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-9700F CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches. The Core i9-9980HK also has slightly more L3 cache.

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 i9-9980HK has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
