Core i5-10600KF vs Core i5-11400F specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-11400F beats the Core i5-10600KF in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-10600KF in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-10600KF has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-11400F. Also, the Core i5-10600KF has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-11400F outputs less heat than Core i5-10600KF 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 i5-10600KF has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
