Intel Core i5-8265U vs Intel Core i7-3770K

Core i5-8265U vs Core i7-3770K comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-3770K is faster than the Core i5-8265U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-8265U in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-3770K has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8265U. In addition, both chips have the same turbo speed. A Core i5-8265U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-3770K CPU because of its significantly 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. Indeed, the Core i5-8265U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
