Intel Core i7-10810U vs Intel Core i7-8705G

Core i7-10810U vs Core i7-8705G specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-8705G beats the Core i7-10810U in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i7-10810U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-10810U has significantly more cores than the Core i7-8705G. Indeed, the Core i7-10810U has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i7-8705G. It also has more threads than the Core i7-8705G. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-8705G has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-10810U. Despite this, the Core i7-10810U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-10810U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-8705G CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Core i7-10810U has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i7-8705G. The Core i7-10810U also has significantly more 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 i7-10810U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
