Intel Core i5-4690 vs Intel Core i7-4910MQ

Core i5-4690 vs Core i7-4910MQ benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-4690 beats the Core i7-4910MQ in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4910MQ in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i7-4910MQ has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-4690 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-4910MQ. In addition, both chips have the same turbo speed. The Core i7-4910MQ outputs less heat than Core i5-4690 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. For instance, the Core i5-4690 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
