Product overview

Released in Q2 2020, the Core i7-10700F is a 10th‑Gen “Comet Lake‑S” desktop CPU for the LGA1200 platform and Intel 400‑series motherboards. It has 8 cores/16 threads at 2.9 GHz base and up to 4.8 GHz via Turbo Boost Max 3.0, within a 65 W TDP. This SKU is now discontinued.

As a high‑end i7, it targets gamers and creators who will pair a discrete GPU with a strong 8‑core chip. It’s well‑suited to high‑FPS 1080p/1440p gaming, streaming, and mid‑to‑heavy video editing on DDR4‑2933 systems. It is not overclockable (non‑K, locked multiplier). Unique: the F‑suffix means no integrated graphics—display output requires a dedicated graphics card.
