Core i7-10700 vs Core i7-10700F specs and performance

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

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. According to our data, the Core i7-10700 and Core i7-10700F have the same clock speed. In addition, both chips have the same turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache and 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 i7-10700 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
