Intel Core i7-10700 vs Intel Core 7 240H

Core i7-10700 vs Core 7 240H comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-10700 beats the Core 7 240H in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core 7 240H in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core 7 240H has slightly more cores with 10 cores compared to the Core i7-10700 that has 8 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-10700 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core 7 240H. Despite this, the Core 7 240H has a slightly higher turbo speed. The info from our database shows that the Core 7 240H has more L2 cache than the Core i7-10700. The Core 7 240H also has significantly more 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 i7-10700 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
