Intel Core i5-8265U vs Intel Core i7-4770

Core i5-8265U vs Core i7-4770 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-4770 beats the Core i5-8265U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-8265U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-4770 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8265U. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. A Core i5-8265U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-4770 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches. The Core i7-4770 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. Indeed, the Core i5-8265U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
