Intel Core i7-4790 vs Intel Core i7-4770

Core i7-4790 vs Core i7-4770 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-4790 is faster than the Core i7-4770. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4770 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-4790 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-4770. Also, the Core i7-4790 has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches and L3 cache.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i7-4790 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
