Intel Core i5-7600K vs Intel Core i7-3770

Core i5-7600K vs Core i7-3770 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-7600K is faster than the Core i7-3770. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-3770 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i7-3770 has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-7600K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-3770. Also, the Core i5-7600K has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-3770 outputs less heat than Core i5-7600K thanks to a 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 i7-3770 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 i5-7600K has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
