Core i7-3770S 4-Core 3.1GHz Game Requirement Analysis
Core i7-3770S 4-Core 3.1GHz is a power efficient CPU based on the 22nm, Ivy Bridge architecture. It offers 4 Physical Cores (8 Logical), initially clocked at 3.1GHz, which may go up to 3.9GHz and 8MB of L3 Cache.
Among its many features, HyperThreading, Turbo Boost and Virtualization are activated.
The processor integrates mildly powerful Graphics called Intel HD i7-3770S (variant of Intel HD Graphics 4000), with 16 Execution Units, initially clocked at 650MHz and that go up to 1150MHz, in Turbo Mode which share the L2 Cache and system RAM with the processor.
Both the processor and integrated graphics have a rated board TDP of 65W.
Compared to Core i7-3770K there's an overall 4% performance decrease. Its performance is very good and sufficient for extreme gaming.
