Intel Core i5-4670 vs Intel Core i7-3770K

Core i5-4670 vs Core i7-3770K specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-3770K performs better than the Core i5-4670. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4670 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-3770K has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-3770K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-4670. Also, the Core i7-3770K has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-3770K outputs less heat than Core i5-4670 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 i5-4670 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
