Intel Core i7-3770S vs Intel Core i7-8705G

Core i7-3770S vs Core i7-8705G benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-8705G beats the Core i7-3770S in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i7-3770S has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. According to our data, the Core i7-3770S and Core i7-8705G have the same clock speed. Despite this, the Core i7-8705G has a slightly higher 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.
