Intel Core i7-3610QM vs Intel Core i7-4800MQ

Core i7-3610QM vs Core i7-4800MQ comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-4800MQ beats the Core i7-3610QM in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-3610QM 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. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-4800MQ has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-3610QM. Also, the Core i7-4800MQ has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-3610QM CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-4800MQ CPU because of its slightly 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 i7-3610QM has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
