Intel Core i5-10400F vs Intel Core i7-10875H

Core i5-10400F vs Core i7-10875H comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-10400F beats the Core i7-10875H in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-10875H in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-10875H has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Core i5-10400F that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-10400F. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-10400F has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-10875H. Despite this, the Core i7-10875H has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-10875H outputs less heat than Core i5-10400F thanks to a 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 i7-10875H has slightly more L2 cache than the Core i5-10400F. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

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 i5-10400F has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
