Core i7-10700K vs Ryzen 7 7840HS specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 7 7840HS performs better than the Core i7-10700K. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-10700K 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 Ryzen 7 7840HS has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-10700K. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. The Ryzen 7 7840HS outputs less heat than Core i7-10700K 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 Ryzen 7 7840HS has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i7-10700K. However, both these chips have the same amount of 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 i7-10700K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
