AI Summary
Intel Core i7-4770K delivers playable 1080p results in many titles—e.g., 58–75 FPS in Assassin's Creed Valhalla and 52–72 FPS in Watch Dogs®: Legion—but its 4C/8T Haswell design and modest scores (PassMark 7125, CB R15 multi 4757) lag far behind 2025 CPUs. At $350, value is poor versus modern chips like AMD Ryzen 5 8400F.
Pros
- Solid 1080p playability: 69–79 FPS in Far Cry® 6, 65–84 FPS in HITMAN 3 - Deluxe Pack
- High FPS in eSports/optimized titles: 178–205 FPS in Rainbow Six Extraction
- Reasonable thermals for its era (84W TDP)
- Integrated Intel HD 4600 for basic display needs
Cons
- Very weak value in 2025: $350 with PassMark 7125 vs far higher scores at lower prices (e.g., AMD Ryzen 5 8400F)
- Aging 4-core/8-thread design limits modern CPU-bound performance
- Content creation speed lags badly vs chips like Intel Core i7-14700F (much higher Cinebench/Blender)
- No upgrade path on LGA1150; platform is effectively end-of-life
