Intel Core i5-4670 vs Intel Core i7-4700MQ

Core i5-4670 vs Core i7-4700MQ specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-4670 is faster than the Core i7-4700MQ. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4700MQ in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i7-4700MQ has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-4670 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-4700MQ. Also, the Core i5-4670 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-4700MQ outputs less heat than Core i5-4670 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. For instance, the Core i5-4670 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
