Fragz' verdict
The Core Ultra 7 270K Plus decisively wins this CPU showdown, leading by a massive 83.6% in its component score. This performance gap is evident across the board, with the Core Ultra 7 270K Plus delivering 0.69 Gop/s in single-thread performance compared to the Core i7-10700's 0.49 Gop/s, and nearly doubling the integer multi-thread score at 12.7 Gop/s versus 5.5 Gop/s. Gamers will see the difference in titles like Supernova DX11, where the winner pushed 113.9 FPS against 57.6 FPS, backed by its 24 cores, 24 threads, 36 MB of L3 cache, and a peak clock of 5412 MHz, significantly outperforming the Core i7-10700's 8 cores, 16 threads, 16 MB L3 cache, and 4458 MHz peak. It also handled draw calls at 13,664,107 per second, a substantial leap from the 6,902,462 draw calls per second seen on the Core i7-10700. However, with only one verified run for each processor, the sample size is currently thin, so keep that in mind. While the Core i7-10700 still offers functional performance, its significantly lower scores in every measured metric mean the Core Ultra 7 270K Plus is the clear choice for anyone prioritizing raw CPU power and gaming framerates.

What the numbers mean
The CPU score is the processor's own performance — that is what we rank on. GAMING is the whole rig's score in the best PC we measured the processor in, and leans heavily on the graphics card. A strong processor in a weak PC gets a low GAMING score without being worse. We show both and never mix them.
All numbers come from our benchmark suite: four hand-built 3D scenes written directly against the graphics APIs in Rust, the same load on every PC. The methodology is open at https://whatfps.com/metodik
