Core i7-4790 vs Core i5-1035G1 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-4790 performs better than the Core i5-1035G1. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-1035G1 in all gaming tests too.

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 i7-4790 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i5-1035G1. Also, the Core i7-4790 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-1035G1 outputs less heat than Core i7-4790 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 i7-4790 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 i7-4790 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
