Core i3-10110U vs Core i7-10700 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-10700 is faster than the Core i3-10110U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-10110U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-10700 has significantly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Core i3-10110U that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i3-10110U. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-10700 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-10110U. Also, the Core i7-10700 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i3-10110U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-10700 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i7-10700 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i3-10110U. The Core i7-10700 also has significantly 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 i3-10110U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
