Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i9-10900F has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i9-10900F has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-12650H. Also, the Core i9-10900F has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-12650H outputs less heat than Core i9-10900F 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 i9-10900F has more L2 cache than the Core i7-12650H. Despite this, the Core i7-12650H has slightly more L3 cache compared to the Core i9-10900F.

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 i9-10900F has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
