Core i5-3570K vs Core i5-4670 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-4670 beats the Core i5-3570K in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-3570K in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. According to our data, the Core i5-3570K and Core i5-4670 have the same clock speed. In addition, both chips have the same turbo speed. A Core i5-3570K CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-4670 CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. For instance, the Core i5-3570K has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
