Intel Core i7-6920HQ vs Intel Core i3-10105F

Core i7-6920HQ vs Core i3-10105F benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i3-10105F performs better than the Core i7-6920HQ. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-6920HQ in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-10105F has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-6920HQ. Also, the Core i3-10105F has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-6920HQ CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-10105F CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 i7-6920HQ has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
