Intel Core i7-4790 vs Intel Core i7-1195G7

Core i7-4790 vs Core i7-1195G7 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-1195G7 performs better than the Core i7-4790. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4790 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 i7-4790 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-1195G7. Despite this, the Core i7-1195G7 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-1195G7 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.

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.
