AMD Ryzen 7 4700U vs Intel Core i7-10610U

Ryzen 7 4700U vs Core i7-10610U comparison

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 7 4700U beats the Core i7-10610U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-10610U in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 7 4700U has significantly more cores than the Core i7-10610U. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 4700U has 8 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i7-10610U. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 7 4700U has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-10610U. Despite this, the Core i7-10610U has a slightly higher turbo speed. 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. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 4700U has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-10610U. However, both these chips have the same amount of 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. For instance, the Ryzen 7 4700U has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
