Core i7-8700K vs Core i7-11370H comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-8700K beats the Core i7-11370H in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-11370H in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i7-8700K has significantly more cores with 6 cores whereas the Core i7-11370H has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i7-11370H. The Core i7-11370H outputs less heat than Core i7-8700K thanks to a 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 i7-8700K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
