Core i3-10105 vs Core i7-9850H benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-9850H is faster than the Core i3-10105. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-10105 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i7-9850H has significantly more cores with 6 cores whereas the Core i3-10105 has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i3-10105. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-10105 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-9850H. Despite this, the Core i7-9850H has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-9850H outputs less heat than Core i3-10105 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 i3-10105 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
