Core i5-4670K vs Core i5-3330 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-4670K is faster than the Core i5-3330. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-3330 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-4670K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-3330. Also, the Core i5-4670K has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-3330 outputs less heat than Core i5-4670K thanks to a slightly 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. For instance, the Core i5-4670K has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
