Intel Core i7-10700 Desktop Processor 8 Cores up to 4.8 GHz LGA 1200 (Intel 400 Series Chipset) 65W, BX8070110700

Product Information

Intel Optane memory is a new class of non-volatile memory that sits in between system memory and storage to accelerate performance.

In this test, we use affinity masks to limit which cores are loaded, and scale through using an AIDA workload. You can quickly size up your PC, identify hardware problems and explore the best value for money upgrades. The peaks here are slightly lower than in the graph above due to the different workload, but still show the same discrepancy. Intel’s stance here is quite clear: Intel is fully supportive of motherboard vendors changing these values.No serious effort has ever been put into dictating that there is a very explicit difference with the manufacturer recommended performance vs motherboard vendor adjusted turbo performance. The TDP will be the maximum power under a sustained workload for which the base frequency is the minimum frequency guarantee.

Given that most users don’t know how to adjust any of the turbo settings, and Intel doesn’t mind if they are adjusted, these vendors change the default values, and you get this sort of situation.This requires more voltage and power efficiency at that end of the spectrum is quite poor, meaning a lot of power is needed for that last extra bit of frequency. Introducing the all new 10th Generation Intel Core i7 10900F processor, 10th Gen Intel® Core™ desktop processors are built for the everyday desktop user; this platform delivers amazing performance for everything from mainstream gaming and creation to productivity. In this graph though, we see that in the initial phase, the Core i7-10700K is ever so slightly higher in power consumption, but when the more heavy area in the second stage comes in, both processors are about equal.

Geekbench 6 scores are calibrated against a baseline score of 2500 (which is the score of an Intel Core i7-12700). The base frequency is more of a minimum guaranteed frequency, than an absolute 'this is what you will get' value under a sustained workload. For many markets, such as embedded processors, that value of TDP still signifies the peak power consumption.Please note that this processor does not come with a CPU cooler, but it has been thoroughly tested and is ready to be paired with the cooler of your choice. This is an excellent result which ranks the Intel Core i7-10700 near the top of the comparison list. Going through the full spectrum of per-core loading, at a quick glance both chips look roughly the same.
