Intel Core i7-6700T vs Intel Core i7-4770

Core i7-6700T vs Core i7-4770 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-4770 performs better than the Core i7-6700T. Despite this, the Core i7-6700T 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. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-4770 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-6700T. Also, the Core i7-4770 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-6700T CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-4770 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. 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.

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 i7-6700T has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
