Core i5-7600K vs Core i7-4771 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-7600K is faster than the Core i7-4771. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4771 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i7-4771 has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-7600K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-4771. Also, the Core i5-7600K has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-4771 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.

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.
