This is our third installation of Intel 10-series ("10th Gen," by Intel standards) of CPUs, now focusing on the Intel Core i7-10700K that we bought on launch of the processors. Our previous reviews include the Intel i9-10900K, i5-10600K, and benchmarks of the i5-10600K with additional tuning to show how high performance can go (within reason). For this one, the most apt price comparison for the Intel i7-10700K would be the AMD Ryzen 9 3900X (at similar pricing) and AMD Ryzen 7 3700X (at cheaper pricing), or the Intel i5-10600K from a gaming standpoint. The 10900K is primarily interesting as a show of the top-end of Intel's desktop parts, of course, and so the 10700K ends up awkwardly in the middle of Intel's lineup, while also providing middling performance. In our search for the best CPUs, we tested video editing (Adobe Premiere rendering), Blender Cycles rendering, Handbrake transcoding, V-Ray, compression & decompression, and gaming at 1080p and 1440p, alongside power and thermals.
