Intel Core i7-9700KF vs Intel Core i7-10700F

Core i7-9700KF vs Core i7-10700F comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-10700F beats the Core i7-9700KF in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-9700KF in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i7-10700F has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-9700KF has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-10700F. Also, the Core i7-9700KF has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-10700F outputs less heat than Core i7-9700KF 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 i7-10700F also has slightly more L3 cache.

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. For instance, the Core i7-9700KF has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
