Performance
12 metricsThe Intel Core i9-10910 scores 3,154 in single-core performance and 21,344 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 8,205 for overall performance, 18,289 for productivity performance, 17,416 for creator performance, 22,545 for engineering performance and 14,798 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 2,134 per core, 1,067 per thread and 171 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 734. Its performance index is 102, so its overall performance is 2% above the Intel Core i5-12400 (index 100). Each bar shows the score as a share of a reference ceiling, which is the larger of the 99th-percentile score across the Feex CPU database and a fixed baseline.
How these scores are computed
Single-core and multi-core performance are PassMark CPU Mark single-thread and multi-thread ratings. Every other figure on this page's performance section is computed by Feex from those two ratings plus core count, thread count and TDP, so it is a derived value and not a separate benchmark run.
- Overall performance is the geometric mean of the two ratings: the square root of single-core times multi-core.
- Productivity performance is 0.65 times multi-core plus 1.4 times single-core.
- Creator performance is 0.55 times multi-core plus 1.8 times single-core.
- Engineering performance is multi-core times the smaller of 1.4 and (0.9 plus cores divided by 64).
- Gaming performance is 3 times single-core plus 0.25 times multi-core.
- Performance per core, per thread and per watt divide the multi-core rating by physical cores, logical threads and TDP in watts.
- The efficiency index is the square root of single-core times multi-core, divided by the square root of TDP.
- The performance index is overall performance divided by the overall performance of the Intel Core i5-12400 (8,069), times 100.
Workload Benchmarks
8 workloadsScores for individual PassMark CPU Mark test categories. Higher is better. These are measured test scores, not computed from the single-core and multi-core ratings.
In the individual workload tests the Intel Core i9-10910 scores 82,080 in integer math, 48,209 in floating-point math, 364,802 in compression, 9,095 in cryptography, 913 in physics simulation, 17,043 in vector SIMD, 55 in the prime sieve and 41,738 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 39% above in integer math, 5% above in floating-point math, 60% above in compression, 21% below in cryptography, 16% below in physics simulation, 10% above in vector SIMD, 18% below in the prime sieve and 84% above in sorting. Each bar shows the score as a share of that workload's reference ceiling, the larger of the 99th-percentile score across CPUs with a recorded value and a fixed baseline.
