Core i3-1125G4 vs Core i7-4790K comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-1125G4 beats the Core i7-4790K in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4790K in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. A Core i3-1125G4 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-4790K CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i3-1125G4 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
