Intel Core i5-4690K vs Intel Core i3-1220P

Core i5-4690K vs Core i3-1220P specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-1220P is faster than the Core i5-4690K. Despite this, the Core i5-4690K has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i3-1220P has significantly more cores with 10 cores compared to the Core i5-4690K that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-4690K. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-4690K has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-1220P.

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 i5-4690K has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
