Core i7-11700 vs Core 7 240H benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-11700 beats the Core 7 240H in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core 7 240H in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core 7 240H has slightly more cores with 10 cores compared to the Core i7-11700 that has 8 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Both the Core i7-11700 and Core 7 240H have the same clock speed. Despite this, the Core 7 240H has a slightly higher turbo speed. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core 7 240H has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-11700. The Core 7 240H also has significantly more L3 cache.

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 i7-11700 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
