Intel Core i7-3770K vs Intel Core 7 150U

Core i7-3770K vs Core 7 150U comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-3770K performs better than the Core 7 150U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core 7 150U in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core 7 150U has significantly more cores than the Core i7-3770K. Indeed, the Core 7 150U has 10 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i7-3770K. It also has more threads than the Core i7-3770K. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-3770K has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core 7 150U. Despite this, the Core 7 150U has a slightly higher turbo speed.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core i7-3770K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
