Intel Core i7-2700K vs Intel Core i7-4770S

Core i7-2700K vs Core i7-4770S comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-4770S performs better than the Core i7-2700K. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-2700K 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. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-2700K has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-4770S. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. The Core i7-4770S outputs less heat than Core i7-2700K 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 i7-2700K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
