Core i7-3770S vs Core i7-4770S benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-4770S performs better than the Core i7-3770S. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-3770S in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. According to our data, the Core i7-3770S and Core i7-4770S have the same clock speed. In addition, both chips have the same turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). 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 i7-3770S has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
