Core i9-11980HK vs Core i7-10700F benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-10700F beats the Core i9-11980HK in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i9-11980HK has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-10700F has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i9-11980HK. Despite this, the Core i9-11980HK has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i9-11980HK CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-10700F CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 i9-11980HK has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
