Intel · Core i7 · 2020 · LGA1200
The Intel Core i7-10700F is a desktop processor with 8 cores, released in 2020 at an MSRP of $298. It is part of the Core i7 lineup, using the 10th Gen platform, and fits the LGA1200 socket. Internally, it is built on the "Comet Lake" architecture. Thanks to Intel Hyper-Threading, each core can handle two instruction streams simultaneously, yielding a total of 16 threads for improved parallelism. The Core i7-10700F has a base clock of 2.9 GHz and can boost up to 4.8 GHz depending on workload and thermal headroom. Intel manufactures the "Comet Lake" silicon on a 14nm process node. Its multiplier is locked, so any overclocking has to come from raising the base clock rather than the multiplier. This processor supports DDR4 memory. With a TDP of 65W, the Core i7-10700F is an efficient chip suitable for modest cooling solutions. This processor has no integrated graphics — a discrete GPU is required. The cache hierarchy consists of 32KB/core of L1, 2MB of L2, and 16MB of L3 cache.
No integrated graphics. Otherwise identical to Core i7-10700.
