Core i7-6700 vs Core i5-10200H comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-10200H beats the Core i7-6700 in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i7-6700 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-6700 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-10200H. Despite this, the Core i5-10200H has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-10200H outputs less heat than Core i7-6700 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, both these CPUs have the same amount of L2 cache. The Core i7-6700 also has slightly more L3 cache.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i7-6700 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
