In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-10400 has significantly more cores than the Core i7-4770K. Indeed, the Core i5-10400 has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i7-4770K. It also has more threads than the Core i7-4770K. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-4770K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-10400. Despite this, the Core i5-10400 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-10400 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-4770K CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Core i5-10400 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i7-4770K. The Core i5-10400 also has significantly more L3 cache.

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 i5-10400 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
