Intel Core i7-10700 vs Intel Core i7-7820X

Core i7-10700 vs Core i7-7820X comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-10700 performs better than the Core i7-7820X. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-7820X in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-7820X has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-10700. Despite this, the Core i7-10700 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-10700 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-7820X 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 i7-10700 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
