Core i5-6440HQ vs Core i7-3770 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-3770 is faster than the Core i5-6440HQ. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-6440HQ in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-3770 has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-3770 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-6440HQ. Also, the Core i7-3770 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-6440HQ CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-3770 CPU because of its significantly 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 i5-6440HQ has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
