Intel Core i7-10510U vs Intel Core i7-4900MQ

Core i7-10510U vs Core i7-4900MQ benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-10510U 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.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-4900MQ has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i7-10510U. Despite this, the Core i7-10510U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-10510U 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. In terms of cache, both these CPUs have the same amount of L2 cache and 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 i7-10510U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
