Core i3-10100F vs Core i7-8850H comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-10100F is faster than the Core i7-8850H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-8850H in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-8850H has significantly more cores than the Core i3-10100F. Indeed, the Core i7-8850H has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i3-10100F. It also has more threads than the Core i3-10100F. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i3-10100F has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-8850H. In addition, both chips have the same turbo speed. The Core i7-8850H outputs less heat than Core i3-10100F 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 i3-10100F has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
