Intel Core i7-10710U vs Intel Core i9-8950HK

Core i7-10710U vs Core i9-8950HK benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-10710U is faster than the Core i9-8950HK. Despite this, the Core i9-8950HK has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i9-8950HK has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-10710U. Also, the Core i9-8950HK has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-10710U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i9-8950HK CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches and 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 i7-10710U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
