Intel Core i7-4770 vs Intel Core i7-5700HQ

Core i7-4770 vs Core i7-5700HQ comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-4770 beats the Core i7-5700HQ in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i7-5700HQ has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

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 i7-5700HQ. Also, the Core i7-4770 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-5700HQ outputs less heat than Core i7-4770 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache. The Core i7-4770 also has slightly more L3 cache.

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.
