Intel Core i5-1035G1 vs Intel Core i7-4710HQ

Core i5-1035G1 vs Core i7-4710HQ comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-1035G1 beats the Core i7-4710HQ in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4710HQ in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-4710HQ has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-1035G1. Despite this, the Core i5-1035G1 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-1035G1 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-4710HQ CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core i5-1035G1 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
