Intel Core i5-4570S vs Intel Core i7-4700MQ

Core i5-4570S vs Core i7-4700MQ benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-4700MQ performs better than the Core i5-4570S. 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 i7-4700MQ has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-4570S has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-4700MQ. Also, the Core i5-4570S has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-4700MQ 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.

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 i5-4570S has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
