Yeah pretty much that. They usually have the same amount of performance cores but there are more efficient cores and hence threads and on top of that they run

Yeah pretty much that. They usually have the same amount of performance cores but there are more efficient cores and hence threads and on top of that they run on higher frequency too i7-14700K: 20 cores (8 performance, 12 efficient) 28 threads 5.6 Ghz i9-14900K: 24 cores (8 performance, 16 efficient) 32 threads 6 Ghz It's like ~10% performance difference
