Core i9-10900K vs Core i7-13700H benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i9-10900K is faster than the Core i7-13700H. Despite this, the Core i7-13700H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-13700H has slightly more cores with 14 cores compared to the Core i9-10900K that has 10 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i9-10900K has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-13700H. Also, the Core i9-10900K has a slightly higher turbo speed. In terms of cache, the Core i7-13700H has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i9-10900K. The Core i7-13700H also has slightly 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 i9-10900K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
