Core i7-10700F vs Core i9-11950H specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-10700F is faster than the Core i9-11950H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i9-11950H 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. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-10700F has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i9-11950H. Despite this, the Core i9-11950H has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i9-11950H outputs less heat than Core i7-10700F thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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