About the Intel Core i7-10875H CPU

The Intel Core i7-10875H is a 8-core (16-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q2 2020 with a suggested retail price of $450. It is part of Intel's Core i7 lineup, which is based on the Comet Lake-H microarchitecture. The i7-10875H is compatible with Intel BGA 1440 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 14 nm manufacturing process. It features the UHD Graphics integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The Core i7-10875H supports DDR4 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Core i7-10875H has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 64 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 256 KB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 16 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Core i7-10875H features 8 total cores which can process 16 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 2.3 GHz, and it can boost up to 5.1 GHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is locked, making it incapable of overclocking for pushing performance further.

Integrated Graphics

The Core i7-10875H includes an integrated graphics solution called UHD Graphics. This graphics processor is directly integrated into the CPU and is not as powerful as a dedicated graphics card. While integrated graphics can handle basic tasks like web browsing and office applications, it is not suitable for more demanding activities such as gaming or video editing, where a dedicated graphics card offers superior performance.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The Core i7-10875H has the 109th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 44.94% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D. Its 16,622 score and $450 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 36.94. This is the 93rd best in value for the 3DMark 11 Perf. Physics benchmark.

About the Intel Core i7-6820HQ CPU

The Intel Core i7-6820HQ is a 4-core (8-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. The i7-6820HQ is compatible with FCBGA1440 motherboards and is fabricated on a 14 nm manufacturing process. It features the Intel HD Graphics 530 integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache
