Intel Core i7-10700 vs Intel Core i9-10900KF

Core i7-10700 vs Core i9-10900KF benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i9-10900KF performs better 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 core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i9-10900KF has slightly more cores with 10 cores compared to the Core i7-10700 that has 8 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i7-10700. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i9-10900KF has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-10700. Also, the Core i9-10900KF has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-10700 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i9-10900KF CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i9-10900KF has slightly more L2 cache than the Core i7-10700. The Core i9-10900KF 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.
