Core i7-4770S Details

With a 65 W thermal envelope and a 22 nm manufacturing process, the Intel Core i7-4770S stands as a power-efficient quad-core processor designed for mainstream desktop systems. Released during Intel's Haswell era, this CPU is part of the fourth-generation Core family and leverages the FCLGA1150 socket, offering compatibility with a range of 2013-era motherboards. Though now over a decade old, the i7-4770S remains a notable performer in its class due to its hyper-threading support and integrated graphics, making it a practical choice for light workloads, office computing, and multimedia tasks.

The processor features four cores and eight threads, enabled by Intel's Hyper-Threading technology, which allows it to handle multiple threads simultaneously. Base clock speed is set at 3.1 GHz, with a turbo frequency reaching 3.9 GHz under load, providing a noticeable boost in performance for single-threaded and lightly threaded applications. It supports DDR3-1333/1600 memory at 1.5V, with a maximum memory capacity of 32 GB across two channels and a peak memory bandwidth of 25.6 GB/s. The L1, L2, and L3 cache hierarchy includes 64 KB per core for L1, 256 KB per core for L2, and a shared 8 MB L3 cache, optimizing data access for multitasking and memory-intensive operations.

Integrated into the i7-4770S is the Intel HD Graphics 4600 GPU, which operates at a base frequency of 350 MHz and can burst up to 1.2 GHz under optimal conditions. This GPU supports up to three displays and is capable of handling 1080p video playback and light gaming. While not suitable for modern high-end gaming or GPU-intensive applications, it provides adequate graphics performance for general use and light content creation.

The processor supports a range of advanced technologies, including AES-NI for encryption, AVX2 for vectorized operations, and Intel VT-x and VT-d for virtualization. It also includes features like EIST for dynamic power management and TXT for secure boot environments. Despite lacking ECC memory support, its inclusion of vPro and SIPP ensures enterprise usability in managed environments.

In benchmark testing, the i7-4770S achieves an overall score of 5189, placing it at #720 out of 2060 processors, with a single-core score of 5376 (#667) and a multicore score of 4909 (#715). These results place it just behind modern mainstream CPUs like the Core i5-10310U and ahead of older quad-core models such as the FX-8370. While significantly outperformed by current-generation processors—especially in the top 50 rankings, where scores exceed 7,000—the i7-4770S remains a capable performer for legacy systems and budget builds.

As of March 2026, the Core i7-4770S is best suited for users seeking a reliable, low-power CPU for everyday productivity, light multimedia editing, and occasional gaming. Its longevity and compatibility make it a viable option for system upgrades in older platforms, though it is no longer competitive in high-performance or modern computing environments.
