Intel Core i5-4670K vs Intel Core i5-4690

Core i5-4670K vs Core i5-4690 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-4670K is faster than the Core i5-4690. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4690 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-4690 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-4670K. Also, the Core i5-4690 has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). 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.
