Intel Core i7-2700K vs Intel Core i7-2760QM

Core i7-2700K vs Core i7-2760QM specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-2700K is faster than the Core i7-2760QM. Despite this, the Core i7-2760QM has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

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 i7-2700K has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-2760QM. Also, the Core i7-2700K has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-2760QM outputs less heat than Core i7-2700K thanks to a 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 i7-2700K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
