Core i7-3770 vs Core i7-8705G comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-3770 beats the Core i7-8705G in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-8705G 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 i7-3770 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-8705G. Despite this, the Core i7-8705G has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-8705G outputs less heat than Core i7-3770 thanks to a 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 and L3 cache.

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.
