Core i7-4702MQ vs Core i7-4700MQ comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-4700MQ is faster than the Core i7-4702MQ. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4702MQ 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 i7-4702MQ. Also, the Core i7-4700MQ has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-4702MQ 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. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache and L3 cache.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i7-4702MQ has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
