Intel Core i7-4770 vs Intel Core i7-3770K

Core i7-4770 vs Core i7-3770K benchmarks

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

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-3770K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-4770. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. The Core i7-3770K outputs less heat than Core i7-4770 thanks to a slightly 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 i7-4770 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
