Intel Core i7-10700K processor review





A review that has been overdue is the 8-core Core i7-10700K processor from Intel. The 10th generation Intel Core desktop processors previously known as CML aka Comet Lake has been received with mixed feelings. Will the Core i7-10700K be a more attractive offer?

Cheaper and faster in games than 3800xt.
Nice with competition

This review 10700k cpu must be the worst in the whole world :p
Looks like 10900k got most of the best binned cores. I have 2x 10900k , and both do 5300mhz all 10 cores with 1.27v load and 1.28v load

Always think it's a bit disingenuous to say it's only gaming that these do well at. Basically if whatever you are doing doesn't need more cores then the Intel cpu provides it's faster. It's not just in single threaded tasks that the Intel chip is quicker at, it's also at any task that uses multiple cores up to the max cores of the intel chip, because the intel chip can clock all of those cores so high, where as the ryzen clocks down more.

My 3900x "max oc" is 11% faster than my 10900k "max oc" in Cinebench r20. 3900x has 20% more cores.
10900k "max oc" is 12-30% faster in games than 3900x "max oc". It depend on the game.
10900k is faster in almost all photoshop tasks too VS 3900x, so it's not just gaming
So 10 series is pretty good in everything, not just gaming. If rendering is life, 3950x or threadripper is the best buy
Ps: I love my 3900x too. Using them for different tasks.

No idea why you had to use 1.5V for 5.1Ghz.
I have 2 10700Ks and one does 5.1@1.32V and the other 5.1@1.35V.
You either had bad luck with silicon or you left vcore on Auto and only changed the Frequency Multiplier which usually is stable but leads to extremely high Vcore being used.

5.1GHz@1.51V?
I've thought only I've got unlucky hands when it comes to silicon lottery...
So far:
8700K 5GHz@1.36V stable
9700K 5GHz@1.34V stable
9900K #1 P0, terrible IHS, impossible to keep it cool delid->copper IHS 5GHz@1.34V stable and hot.
9900K #2 R0, nooope, 5GHz@1.39V-1.4 not stable.
9900K #3, P0, noooope, 4.9GHz@1.39-1.4V not stable...
Ok, back to number one, and since I've had it rather than more and more unsuccessful try.
