Intel Core i7-10710U vs Intel Core i7-4790K

Core i7-10710U vs Core i7-4790K comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-10710U is faster than the Core i7-4790K. Despite this, the Core i7-4790K has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-10710U has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Core i7-4790K that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i7-4790K. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-4790K has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-10710U. Despite this, the Core i7-10710U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-10710U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-4790K CPU because of its 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 i7-10710U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
