Core i5-3470S vs Core i5-4440S comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-3470S beats the Core i5-4440S in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4440S in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-3470S has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-4440S. Also, the Core i5-3470S has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. For instance, the Core i5-3470S has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
