Intel Core i9-10900F offers worse performance than Core i9-10980HK
Intel Comet Lake-S processors do not have a release date, but the constant leaks are giving a lot to talk about. These new processors are based on 14nm lithography, which debuted in 2015 with the Skylake architecture. Now a new Core i9-10900F processor benchmark has leaked, which is quite disappointing. Under Geekbench 4 this processor has worse performance than the AMD Ryzen 7 4800H.
To stand out from the Core i9-10900F is a version with cut frequencies compared to the Core i9-10900K. It is not the only difference between these two processors. The Core i9-10900F has a lower TDP, due to the frequency reduction. In addition, this F-Series processor indicates that it has the iGPU disabled.
- Number of cores: 4
- Processor base frequency: 3.60 GHz
- Maximum turbo frequency: 4.20 GHz
- Cache: 6MB Intel Smart Cache
- Bus speed: 8 GT / s
Intel Core i9-10900F has bare-bones performance
The Intel Core i9-10900F is characterized by having 10 cores and 20 threads working at a base frequency of 2.8GHz that can reach 4.5GHz in all cores. The big problem with this processor is consumption, which despite its cut frequencies, is absurdly something. Under the base frequency this processor consumes 170W. While operating at its Boost frequency on all cores consumes 225W.
It is data that leaves this processor in a very bad position compared to AMD Ryzen 3000 processors. It can offer more performance (it is not) but with the price and consumption, it loses a lot, being realistic. Another factor that weighs down Intel processors is that they force you to change motherboards, a strategy that expires.
Regarding performance, under Geekbench 4, the Core i9-10900F shows a single-core score of 5747 points and a multicore score of 29363 points. The Intel Core i9-10980HK 8-core 16-thread processor (3.1GHz / 5.3GHz) gives 6321 points in monicore and 32038 points in multicore. In addition, the AMD Ryzen 7 4800H processor offers 5528 points in single core and 31614 points in multicore.
You can see that the Intel Core i9-10900F has less performance than the Core i9-10980HK processor for laptops. It is clear that the 10900F has significant thermal problems that weigh down its performance. A disaster for the company that urgently needs to scrap 14nm.
