Intel Core i5-4570T vs Intel Core i7-950

Core i5-4570T vs Core i7-950 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-4570T beats the Core i7-950 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-950 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-950 has significantly more cores than the Core i5-4570T. Indeed, the Core i7-950 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i5-4570T. It also has more threads than the Core i5-4570T. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-950 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-4570T. Despite this, the Core i5-4570T has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-4570T CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-950 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i5-4570T has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
