Intel Core i5-8350U vs Intel Core i7-4900MQ

Core i5-8350U vs Core i7-4900MQ benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-8350U is faster than the Core i7-4900MQ. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4900MQ 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 i7-4900MQ has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8350U. Also, the Core i7-4900MQ has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-8350U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-4900MQ CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches. The Core i7-4900MQ also has slightly more L3 cache.

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 i5-8350U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
