Intel Core i7 4770K vs 3770K

Released June, 2013

Reasons to buy the Intel Core i7 4770K

	Significantly lower typical power consumption 68.25W		Better SysMark 2007 overall score 341
	Better turbo clock speed 1,250 MHz		Significantly higher Maximum Operating Temperature 72.72 °C

The AMD A10-5800K APU hasn't been in the lead in any benchmark yet, but here we can see that it excels in graphics and had an overall score in Fire Strike of 1098, which is 20% faster than the new Intel Core i7-4770K processor.

older Released April, 2012

Reasons to buy the 3770K

	Significantly higher GPU clock speed 650 MHz		Much better SysMark 2007 3D score 340
	Significantly better SysMark 2007 video creation score 293		Slightly better overclocked clock speed (Air) 4.75 GHz

If you're overclocking you will lose efficiency, but gain overall system performance.

If you look closer at the results for Cloud Gate you'll see that AMD won in the graphics tests, but lost in the Physics test, so Futuremark 3DMark must have more weight on the physics test than the GPU test in this test scenario.

Core i7 4770K		vs	3770K

	7.0 read review		8.0 read review	And because Ivy Bridge chips like the Core i7-3770K are intended for more middle-of-the-road users, they come loaded with integrated graphics systems that can drive up to three independent displays and support HDMI 1.4a and its associated high-quality audio, in addition to InTru 3D (for stereoscopic 3D) and HD video conferencing.

I don't see how the Haswell i7 won. The benchmarks were extremely close: there have been other comparisons where benchmarks were "too close to call" before and no winner picked. seems inconsistent to declare winners on things so close and no calls on others with identical closeness.

Ömer Fadıl USTA (08:05 AM, November 16, 2013)

in the end of page the gpu values are written wrong order: GPU clock speed 350 MHz 650 MHz but it must be GPU clock speed 650 MHz 350 MHz

Lukas (08:29 AM, August 23, 2013)

77/88W is TDP not the power consumption.

3770K 77W 4770K 87W where do you get 65/115? thios test is a big fake

micah (04:23 PM, August 16, 2013)

Intel HD4600 is nearly 2x more powerful than the HD4000 on the 3770k. Chill. The gpu frequency boosts under load.

Constantin (09:47 AM, July 22, 2013)

what to do? fu i had already bought mother motherboard and it only support 4th gen. i hope dual processing will do his to benefit 3770. ill overclock it at 4.5 with water cooling for stability. i hated 4770's gpu clock speed. wtf im going to use integrated memory for first months with 2 monitors :(
