Intel Core i7-10610U vs Intel Core i3-10100F

Core i7-10610U vs Core i3-10100F comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-10100F beats the Core i7-10610U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-10610U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-10100F has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-10610U. Despite this, the Core i7-10610U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-10610U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-10100F CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i7-10610U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
