Intel Core i7-10810U vs Intel Core i7-4710HQ

Core i7-10810U vs Core i7-4710HQ comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-10810U beats the Core i7-4710HQ in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4710HQ in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-10810U has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Core i7-4710HQ that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i7-4710HQ. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-4710HQ has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i7-10810U. Despite this, the Core i7-10810U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-10810U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-4710HQ CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 i7-10810U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
