Intel Core i7-4770S vs Intel Pentium Gold 7505

Core i7-4770S vs Pentium Gold 7505 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-4770S is faster than the Pentium Gold 7505. Despite this, the Pentium Gold 7505 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-4770S has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Pentium Gold 7505 that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Pentium Gold 7505. The Pentium Gold 7505 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.

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.
