Intel Core i9-10900KF vs Intel Core i9-10900F

Core i9-10900KF vs Core i9-10900F comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i9-10900KF performs better than the Core i9-10900F. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i9-10900F in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i9-10900KF has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i9-10900F. Also, the Core i9-10900KF has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i9-10900F outputs less heat than Core i9-10900KF 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 and 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 i9-10900KF has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
