Core i7-10870H vs Ryzen 7 7735U comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-10870H beats the Ryzen 7 7735U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 7735U 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 Ryzen 7 7735U has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-10870H. Despite this, the Core i7-10870H has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 7 7735U outputs less heat than Core i7-10870H 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 7 7735U has more L2 cache than the Core i7-10870H. 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 i7-10870H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
