Intel Core i7-4712MQ vs Intel Core i7-4702MQ

Core i7-4712MQ vs Core i7-4702MQ benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-4702MQ beats the Core i7-4712MQ in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4712MQ in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-4712MQ has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-4702MQ. Also, the Core i7-4712MQ has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, both these CPUs have the same 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 i7-4712MQ has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
