Intel Core i7-10700 vs Intel Core i7-11700K

Core i7-10700 vs Core i7-11700K comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-11700K 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.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-11700K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-10700. Also, the Core i7-11700K has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-10700 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-11700K CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Core i7-11700K has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i7-10700. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

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 i7-10700 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
