Core i7-2760QM vs Core i7-4700MQ benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-2760QM 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.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-4700MQ has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-2760QM. Despite this, the Core i7-2760QM has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-2760QM CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-4700MQ CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i7-2760QM has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
