Core i7-10700K vs Ryzen 9 PRO 6950H comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 9 PRO 6950H 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.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-10700K has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 9 PRO 6950H. Also, the Core i7-10700K has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 9 PRO 6950H 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. The info from our database shows that the Ryzen 9 PRO 6950H has more L2 cache than the Core i7-10700K. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core i7-10700K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
