Core i9-10900F vs Core i7-3770 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i9-10900F is faster than the Core i7-3770. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-3770 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i9-10900F has significantly more cores with 10 cores compared to the Core i7-3770 that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i7-3770. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-3770 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i9-10900F. Despite this, the Core i9-10900F has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i9-10900F CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-3770 CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Core i9-10900F has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i7-3770. The Core i9-10900F also has significantly more L3 cache.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i9-10900F has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
