Intel Core i5-8350U vs Intel Core i7-4770K

Core i5-8350U vs Core i7-4770K specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-4770K performs better than the Core i5-8350U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-8350U in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-4770K has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8350U. Also, the Core i7-4770K has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-8350U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-4770K 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 i7-4770K 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 i5-8350U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
