Intel Core i7-10610U vs Intel Core i7-4700MQ

Core i7-10610U vs Core i7-4700MQ specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-10610U beats the Core i7-4700MQ in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4700MQ 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 i7-4700MQ has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-10610U. Despite this, the Core i7-10610U has a significantly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-10610U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-4700MQ 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, the Core i7-10610U has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i7-4700MQ. The Core i7-10610U 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 i7-10610U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
