Core i7-4770S vs Core i7-5700HQ comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-5700HQ 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 i7-4770S has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-5700HQ. Also, the Core i7-4770S has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-5700HQ outputs less heat than Core i7-4770S 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 i7-4770S has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
