Core i7-8700 vs Core i5-4570 benchmarks
In our benchmarks, the Core i7-8700 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.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-8700 has significantly more cores than the Core i5-4570. Indeed, the Core i7-8700 has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i5-4570. It also has more threads than the Core i5-4570. In terms of clock speed, the Core i7-8700 and Core i5-4570 are identical in this regard. Despite this, the Core i7-8700 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-8700 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-4570 CPU because of its slightly 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 i7-8700 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
