In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i9-9980HK has slightly more cores than the Core i7-10750H. Indeed, the Core i9-9980HK has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Core i7-10750H. It also has more threads than the Core i7-10750H. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-10750H has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i9-9980HK. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Core i9-9980HK has slightly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i7-10750H. The Core i9-9980HK also has slightly more L3 cache.

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 i9-9980HK has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
