Core i5-4570S vs Core i7-4700HQ comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-4700HQ beats the Core i5-4570S in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-4570S has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i7-4700HQ has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-4570S has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-4700HQ. Also, the Core i5-4570S has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-4700HQ outputs less heat than Core i5-4570S thanks to a 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 i5-4570S has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
