Intel Core i7-3770 vs Intel Core i5-4670K

Core i7-3770 vs Core i5-4670K benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-3770 performs better than the Core i5-4670K. Despite this, the Core i5-4670K has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-3770 has more threads. In terms of clock speed, the Core i7-3770 and Core i5-4670K are identical in this regard. Despite this, the Core i7-3770 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-3770 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-4670K CPU because of its slightly 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 i7-3770 also has slightly more L3 cache.

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 i7-3770 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
