Intel Core i7-10700 vs Intel Core i7-1270P

Core i7-10700 vs Core i7-1270P specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-10700 is faster than the Core i7-1270P. Despite this, the Core i7-1270P has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-1270P has significantly more cores with 12 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 i7-1270P. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. The Core i7-1270P outputs less heat than Core i7-10700 thanks to a 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 i7-1270P has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i7-10700. The Core i7-1270P also has slightly more 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.
