Intel Core i7-2600K vs Intel Core i7-4770S

Core i7-2600K vs Core i7-4770S specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-4770S is faster than the Core i7-2600K. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-2600K 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 i7-2600K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-4770S. Despite this, the Core i7-4770S has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-4770S outputs less heat than Core i7-2600K thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i7-2600K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
