Core i5-7260U vs Core i7-4700MQ comparison
According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-4700MQ is faster than the Core i5-7260U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-7260U in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-4700MQ has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i5-7260U that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-7260U. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-4700MQ has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-7260U. In addition, both chips have the same turbo speed. A Core i5-7260U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-4700MQ 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 i5-7260U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
