Core i7-7700K vs Core i5-10200H comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-7700K performs better than the Core i5-10200H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-10200H in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-7700K has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-10200H. Also, the Core i7-7700K has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-10200H outputs less heat than Core i7-7700K thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache. The Core i7-7700K also has slightly 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 i7-7700K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
