Core i7-4771 vs Core i7-4790S comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-4771 performs better than the Core i7-4790S. Despite this, the Core i7-4790S has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-4771 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-4790S. Despite this, the Core i7-4790S has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-4790S outputs less heat than Core i7-4771 thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i7-4771 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
