Core i5-3570 vs Core i5-4690K benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-4690K beats the Core i5-3570 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-3570 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. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-4690K has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-3570. Also, the Core i5-4690K has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-3570 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-4690K CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. 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 i5-3570 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
