About the Intel Core i5-7500 CPU

The Intel Core i5-7500 is a 4-core (4-thread) processor built for the desktop CPU market. It launched in Q1 2017. It is part of Intel's Core i5 lineup, which is based on the Kaby Lake microarchitecture. The i5-7500 is compatible with Intel Socket 1151 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 14 nm manufacturing process. It features the HD 630 integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The Core i5-7500 supports DDR4 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Core i5-7500 has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 64 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 256 KB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 6 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Core i5-7500 features 4 total cores which can process 4 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 3.4 GHz, and it can boost up to 3.8 GHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is locked, making it incapable of overclocking for pushing performance further.

Integrated Graphics

The Core i5-7500 includes an integrated graphics solution called HD 630. This graphics processor is directly integrated into the CPU and is not as powerful as a dedicated graphics card. While integrated graphics can handle basic tasks like web browsing and office applications, it is not suitable for more demanding activities such as gaming or video editing, where a dedicated graphics card offers superior performance.

Benchmark Performance

The Core i5-7500 has the 376th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 16.94% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.

About the Intel Core i9-9900T CPU

The Intel Core i9-9900T is an end-of-life 8-core (16-thread) processor built for the desktop CPU market. It launched in Q2 2019 with a suggested retail price of $423. It is part of Intel's Core i9 lineup, which is based on the Coffee Lake Refresh microarchitecture. The i9-9900T is compatible with Intel Socket 1151 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 14 nm manufacturing process. It features the UHD Graphics 630 integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The Core i9-9900T supports DDR4 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Core i9-9900T has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 64 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions.
