Intel Core i7-4770S vs Intel Core i3-N305

Core i7-4770S vs Core i3-N305 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-N305 beats the Core i7-4770S in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4770S in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i3-N305 has significantly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Core i7-4770S that has 4 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-4770S has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-N305. Also, the Core i7-4770S has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i3-N305 outputs less heat than Core i7-4770S thanks to a significantly lower TDP. 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 i7-4770S has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
