Intel Core i5-7600K vs Intel Core i7-1065G7

Core i5-7600K vs Core i7-1065G7 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-7600K beats the Core i7-1065G7 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-1065G7 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i7-1065G7 has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-7600K has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-1065G7. Also, the Core i5-7600K has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-1065G7 outputs less heat than Core i5-7600K thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, both these CPUs have the same amount of L2 cache. The Core i7-1065G7 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 i5-7600K has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
