Running both Prime95 and FurMark results in similar clock rate and temperature cycling behavior as shown by the screenshots and table below. After about 1.5 minutes, clock rates and temperature drop to cycle between 1.7 GHz to 2.5 GHz and 64 C to 80 C, respectively, since the CPU is unable to sustain consistent maximum Turbo Boost indefinitely as discovered during our CineBench R15 Multi-Thread loop test. Core temperature would also be stable at about 95 C during this period.
When running Prime95, the CPU can be observed boosting up to 4 GHz for the first few seconds before falling and stabilizing at the 3.0 to 3.1 GHz range. We stress the system with synthetic loads in order to identify for any potential throttling or stability issues. This review will instead focus on the new Core i7-10710U and how much of a performance boost users can expect. We therefore recommend checking out our existing reviews on the and to learn more about the keyboard, display, ports, and other physical features of the XPS 13. 9390) was also announced earlier this year as detailed here.
Other than the CPU swap, the chassis here remains identical to the XPS 13 models that have come before it.

This particular processor is notable for being the first hexa-core CPU in the 15 W Core U series whereas all previous Core U CPUs had a maximum of just two or four physical cores. Dell was first out of the gate with an Intel Core i7 Ice Lake offering earlier last month and now it is first again with with Intel's Core i7 Comet Lake-U CPU. After a short delay, the Dell clamshell with Intel's latest 10th gen Core i7-10710U processor has finally begun shipping.
