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

Product Information

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. Users have the option of manually adjusting those turbo power limits to be more in line with their build, however those limits will be reset if the BIOS is reset for any reason. 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. Well my key comparison in this review is our new processor, the Core i7-10700, up against its overclocking counterpart, the Core i7-10700K.

First, demand from Intel that the recommended turbo power limits are included on the retail box – make these values part of the primary specifications, not hidden away in the secondary documents.If a PC is built with a maximum power dissipation in mind, allowing a processor to turbo above that power might have catastrophic consequences for the thermal performance of that system. This is a relatively narrow range which indicates that the Intel Core i7-10700 performs reasonably consistently under varying real world conditions.

These topics are 10000-12000 word articles in their own right, and we’ve got a few articles worth reading on the topic. The benchmark score for a component shown on this page is the median of all the results submitted by users with the same hardware. Read more about the condition New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging is applicable). In this review the focus will be on the difference between the two, focusing primarily on where the i7-10700 lands compared to the competition, and perhaps some of the complexities involved. Processors that support 64-bit computing on Intel® architecture require an Intel 64 architecture-enabled BIOS.Over the years, Intel’s consumer processor lineup has featured its usual array of overclocking ‘K’ models, and more recently the ‘F’ series that come without integrated graphics.
