The Intel Core i5-4670K is a desktop processor released on April 1, 2013, built on the Haswell architecture using a 22 nm process. It has 4 cores and 4 threads, a base clock of 3.40 GHz, a maximum boost of 3.80 GHz, 6 MB of L3 cache, a 84 W TDP and the FCLGA1150 socket.
Overview
SummaryThe Intel Core i5-4670K is a desktop processor with 4 cores and 4 threads, built on the Haswell architecture (22 nm process). It launched in Apr 2013. Clocks run from 3.4 GHz base to 3.8 GHz boost. A 6-MB L3 cache backs the cores (1.8 MB per core). It addresses DDR3 memory up to 32 GB across 2 channels. The chip drops into the FCLGA1150 socket and exposes PCIe 3.0 (16 lanes). Rated TDP is 84 W. Notable platform capabilities: Extended Page Tables (EPT). Feex currently counts 1 machine in its hardware fleet with exactly this processor.
Performance
12 metricsThe Intel Core i5-4670K scores 2,142 in single-core performance and 5,590 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 3,460 for overall performance, 6,632 for productivity performance, 6,930 for creator performance, 5,380 for engineering performance and 7,824 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 1,398 per core, 1,398 per thread and 67 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 378. Its performance index is 43, so its overall performance is 57% below the Intel Core i5-12400 (index 100). Each bar shows the score as a share of a reference ceiling, which is the larger of the 99th-percentile score across the Feex CPU database and a fixed baseline.
How these scores are computed
Single-core and multi-core performance are PassMark CPU Mark single-thread and multi-thread ratings. Every other figure on this page's performance section is computed by Feex from those two ratings plus core count, thread count and TDP, so it is a derived value and not a separate benchmark run.
- Overall performance is the geometric mean of the two ratings: the square root of single-core times multi-core.
- Productivity performance is 0.65 times multi-core plus 1.4 times single-core.
- Creator performance is 0.55 times multi-core plus 1.8 times single-core.
- Engineering performance is multi-core times the smaller of 1.4 and (0.9 plus cores divided by 64).
- Gaming performance is 3 times single-core plus 0.25 times multi-core.
- Performance per core, per thread and per watt divide the multi-core rating by physical cores, logical threads and TDP in watts.
- The efficiency index is the square root of single-core times multi-core, divided by the square root of TDP.
- The performance index is overall performance divided by the overall performance of the Intel Core i5-12400 (8,069), times 100.
