Intel Core i5-8259U vs Intel Core i7-4702MQ

Core i5-8259U vs Core i7-4702MQ comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-8259U is faster than the Core i7-4702MQ. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4702MQ in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-8259U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-4702MQ. Also, the Core i5-8259U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-8259U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-4702MQ CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Core i5-8259U has more L2 cache than the Core i7-4702MQ. 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. Indeed, the Core i5-8259U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
