Overview

10th Generation Intel Core Comet Lake-S Processor

The 10th generation Intel Core Comet Lake-S processor offers more cores and Hyper Threading from the Core i3 to the Core i9. With higher operating frequencies and the same TDP as previous generations, the 10th generation Intel Core processor delivers more performance and smoothness than ever before. The Intel Core i7-10700KF processor with 8 Cores (16 Threads), 16MB cache and turbo speeds of up to 5.1GHz without overclocking is aimed at demanding gamers and users who need a lot of computing power every day.

With top-notch gaming performance, smooth virtual reality, and intensive multitasking, the 10th generation Intel Core processors are ultra versatile and at home in any situation. The Intel Core i7-10700KF does not have an integrated graphics controller , which is rarely used by gamers and power users. This gives you greater flexibility in choosing the right graphics card for your needs.

Information provided by our tech department Processor sold without cooling system. Compatible fans and watercooling are available as an option.
This processor, like all those of the F-series, is equipped with integrated graphics chipset (Intel UHD Graphics). The graphics output of your motherboard will therefore be irrelevant. The use of a dedicated graphics card will be mandatory to benefit from a display.

    Good processor, powerful but....

    Hello

    I just got out of an asus rog b550-f couplet with a ryzen 5 5600x which was performing well and consuming and heating reasonably. I had the opportunity to get a msi z490 mpg gaming plus motherboard in the bargain corner so I took the opportunity to sell my complete one and get an I7 10700kf at the same time. A gain in all categories but consumes almost 2x as much and heats up a lot. I find by looking at it well it is not worth it for its price and the announced performances... I'm with an aio 360mm fractal (I'm in Reunion Island and it's hot right now 28 degrees in the evening) but still... if I knew that I would have stayed on my ryzen 5 5600x or else switched to the ryzen 7 5800x.... too bad for intel and its 10th generation which is not at the point of performance ratio consumption and heat...

    Great!

    Excellent processor, fast and powerful. The product was delivered quickly and in good condition, thank you LDLC.
    I'm not sure if it's a good idea to buy a new one, but I'm sure it's a good idea to buy a new one, and I'm sure it's a good idea to buy a new one.

    Powerful under its light dress.

    Wow. I hesitated between the 9000 generation and the 10000. I have installed both and there is a real difference. So no hesitation given the small price difference.
    If you have a graphics card (given the price of the processor, I doubt you don't), this 'KF' version (without graphics) is what you need and you save money.
    Good overclock but I haven't got very far yet as I have to master the new motherboard (Gigabyte Z490 UD).
    Coupled with the brand new graphics card 'MSI GeForce GTX 1660 Super Ventus XS OC' (with DDR6!), it's a real treat.
