Intel Core i5-7400 vs Intel Core i7-4700MQ

Core i5-7400 vs Core i7-4700MQ specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-7400 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.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-4700MQ has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-7400 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-4700MQ. Also, the Core i5-7400 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-4700MQ outputs less heat than Core i5-7400 thanks to a 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 i5-7400 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-4700MQ. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

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 i5-7400 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
