Intel Core i7-4770 vs Intel Core i5-4570

Core i7-4770 vs Core i5-4570 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-4770 beats the Core i5-4570 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4570 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-4770 has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-4770 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-4570. Also, the Core i7-4770 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.

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 i7-4770 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
