Ryzen 7 5700U vs Core i3-10100F specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 7 5700U beats the Core i3-10100F in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-10100F in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 7 5700U has significantly more cores than the Core i3-10100F. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 5700U has 8 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i3-10100F. It also has more threads than the Core i3-10100F. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-10100F has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 5700U. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. A Ryzen 7 5700U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-10100F CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 Ryzen 7 5700U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
