Core i7-3770K vs Core i5-12450H specs and performance
In our benchmarks, the Core i5-12450H beats the Core i7-3770K in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-3770K in all gaming tests too.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-12450H has significantly more cores than the Core i7-3770K. Indeed, the Core i5-12450H has 8 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 i5-12450H. Despite this, the Core i5-12450H has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-12450H outputs less heat than Core i7-3770K thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.
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.
