Intel Core i5-4670K vs Intel Core i7-4770

Core i5-4670K vs Core i7-4770 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-4770 is faster than the Core i5-4670K. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4670K in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i7-4770 has more threads. Both the Core i5-4670K and Core i7-4770 have the same clock speed. Despite this, the Core i7-4770 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 data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches. The Core i7-4770 also has slightly more L3 cache.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. For instance, the Core i5-4670K has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
