Intel 8th Gen Intel Core i7 8750H vs Intel 10th Gen Intel Core i9-10885H: Comparison

8th Gen Intel Core i7 8750H vs 10th Gen Intel Core i9-10885H l3 cache compared

The gap that matters here is l3 cache: 8th Gen Intel Core i7 8750H 9 MB against 10th Gen Intel Core i9-10885H 16 MB, which puts 10th Gen Intel Core i9-10885H 44% ahead. L2 cache runs the same way, 1.5 MB on the 8th Gen Intel Core i7 8750H versus 2 MB on the 10th Gen Intel Core i9-10885H, another win for 10th Gen Intel Core i9-10885H. They differ on product line too, Core i7 on the 8th Gen Intel Core i7 8750H versus Core i9 on the 10th Gen Intel Core i9-10885H. They differ on release year too, 2018 on the 8th Gen Intel Core i7 8750H versus 2020 on the 10th Gen Intel Core i9-10885H.

Which should you buy, 8th Gen Intel Core i7 8750H or 10th Gen Intel Core i9-10885H?

Take the 8th Gen Intel Core i7 8750H for gaming and creator laptops of its generation wanting genuine 6-core multi-threaded performance. Avoid it for buyers wanting the latest architecture, considerably newer mobile chips offer meaningful IPC and efficiency gains. Take the 10th Gen Intel Core i9-10885H for premium workstation-class laptops from major OEMs wanting genuine 8-core Comet Lake mobile performance. It is not the one for budget-conscious buyers, the more widely-available i7-10750H or i7-10870H deliver similar practical performance in more accessible laptops.

Where the two are identical

Where they agree, they agree completely, efficiency cores, tdp, integrated graphics, socket and form factor included, so the decision does not turn on any of those. They match on 3 further specifications as well.
