We have loads of benchmarks to look at, so let's get to it.įirst up we have the CPU demanding Ashes of the Singularity and for this test we used the DirectX 12 API with a GTX 1080 Ti. Meanwhile, the 8700K will be paired with DDR4-3200 memory which allows for a bandwidth of about 42GB/s - roughly 45% more. Speaking of which, the 4770K will be tested with DDR3-2400 memory and that affords it a memory bandwidth of around 29GB/s. Today's benchmark results should also be useful for Core i5 Haswell owners who are undecided between buying a second-hand Core i7 or just biting the bullet and getting a new 8th-gen processor, which also means upgrading their motherboard and memory.Īpart from the the additional 50% core/thread count and the small IPC gains Intel has made over the past four years, one of the big advantages the 8700K enjoys is its support for faster higher-clocked DDR4 memory. The 4790K is clocked 500MHz higher than the 4770K (4GHz versus 3.5GHz) and we can simulate that by overclocking the 4770K. This article should also give 4790K owners a good idea of the gains they can expect when upgrading to a new Core i7-8700K.įor a quick refresher, the 4770K and 4790K are both based on the Haswell architecture, with the former arriving in mid-2013 and the latter coming a year later with overclocked parts and a new range of chipsets.
That sounded like a good idea to us and we were also curious to see how well the Core i7-4770K has aged - we first tested this CPU in June 2013.
After our recent feature comparing Intel's 8th-gen Core series against AMD's Ryzen processors, many of you have been asking us to get some older chips into the mix, with particular interest in seeing how Haswell-era processors hold up against Intel's latest offerings.
