Core i7-3770S vs Core i7-4930MX comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-3770S is faster than the Core i7-4930MX. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4930MX in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-4930MX has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-3770S. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. The Core i7-4930MX outputs less heat than Core i7-3770S thanks to a slightly 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 i7-3770S has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
