Intel Core i7-7820X vs Intel Core 7 240H

Core i7-7820X vs Core 7 240H benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core 7 240H is faster than the Core i7-7820X. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-7820X 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 i7-7820X that has 8 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-7820X has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core 7 240H. Despite this, the Core 7 240H has a slightly higher turbo speed.

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 i7-7820X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
