Core i5-7500 vs Core i7-3770S comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-3770S beats the Core i5-7500 in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-7500 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i7-3770S has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-7500 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-3770S. Despite this, the Core i7-3770S 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 i5-7500 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
