Intel Core i7-8086K vs Intel Core i7-10875H

Core i7-8086K vs Core i7-10875H comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-8086K beats the Core i7-10875H in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-10875H in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-10875H has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Core i7-8086K that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i7-8086K. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-8086K has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-10875H. Despite this, the Core i7-10875H has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-10875H outputs less heat than Core i7-8086K thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Core i7-10875H has more L2 cache than the Core i7-8086K. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

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 i7-8086K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
