Intel Core i5-7300HQ vs Intel Core i7-4910MQ

Core i5-7300HQ vs Core i7-4910MQ specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-7300HQ performs better than the Core i7-4910MQ. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4910MQ in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-4910MQ has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-4910MQ has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-7300HQ. Also, the Core i7-4910MQ has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-7300HQ CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-4910MQ CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i5-7300HQ has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-4910MQ. Despite this, the Core i7-4910MQ has slightly more L3 cache compared to the Core i5-7300HQ.

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 i5-7300HQ has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
