Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-4770K has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-5700HQ. Also, the Core i7-4770K has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-5700HQ outputs less heat than Core i7-4770K 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 i7-4770K also has slightly more L3 cache.

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