Intel Core i7-3630QM vs Intel Core i7-4700MQ

Core i7-3630QM vs Core i7-4700MQ comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-4700MQ performs better than the Core i7-3630QM. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-3630QM 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 i7-3630QM. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. A Core i7-3630QM 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.

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 i7-3630QM has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
