Core i5-7600 vs Core i7-4770K comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-4770K is faster than the Core i5-7600. Despite this, the Core i5-7600 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i7-4770K has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-4770K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-7600. Despite this, the Core i5-7600 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-7600 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-4770K CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache. The Core i7-4770K also has slightly more L3 cache.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. For instance, the Core i5-7600 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
