Core i3-7350K vs Core i7-4770S specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-4770S is faster than the Core i3-7350K. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-7350K in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i7-4770S has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Core i3-7350K has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i3-7350K. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i3-7350K has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-4770S. A Core i3-7350K CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-4770S CPU because of its slightly 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 i3-7350K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
