Core i7-7820HQ vs Core i5-4570 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-7820HQ beats the Core i5-4570 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4570 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i7-7820HQ has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-4570 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-7820HQ. Despite this, the Core i7-7820HQ has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-7820HQ CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-4570 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 i7-7820HQ has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
