Intel Core i7-7820HQ vs Intel Core i7-4770S

Core i7-7820HQ vs Core i7-4770S benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-7820HQ beats the Core i7-4770S in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4770S in all gaming tests too.

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 i7-4770S has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-7820HQ. In addition, both chips have the same turbo speed. A Core i7-7820HQ CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-4770S 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.
