Intel Core i7-8700T vs Intel Core i7-4770S

Core i7-8700T vs Core i7-4770S benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-8700T performs better than the Core i7-4770S. Despite this, the Core i7-4770S has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-8700T has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Core i7-4770S that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i7-4770S. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-4770S has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-8700T. Despite this, the Core i7-8700T has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-8700T 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 i7-8700T has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
