Core i5-4570T vs Athlon X4 870K specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Athlon X4 870K performs better than the Core i5-4570T. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4570T in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Athlon X4 870K has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-4570T. Also, the Athlon X4 870K has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-4570T CPU outputs less heat than a Athlon X4 870K CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Athlon X4 870K has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-4570T

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. Indeed, the Core i5-4570T has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
