Intel Core i7-3770 vs Intel Core i7-3820

Core i7-3770 vs Core i7-3820 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-3770 beats the Core i7-3820 in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i7-3820 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

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 i7-3820 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-3770. Despite this, the Core i7-3770 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-3770 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-3820 CPU because of its 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 i7-3770 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
