Core i7-7700T vs Core i7-4790S comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-4790S beats the Core i7-7700T in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i7-7700T has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

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 i7-4790S has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-7700T. Also, the Core i7-4790S has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-7700T CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-4790S CPU because of its 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 i7-7700T has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
