Core i7-4770 vs Core i7-4770S comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-4770 is faster than the Core i7-4770S. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4770S in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-4770 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-4770S. In addition, both chips have the same turbo speed. The Core i7-4770S 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.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i7-4770 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
