Core i7-4712MQ vs N150 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-4712MQ beats the N150 in overall performance. Despite this, the N150 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i7-4712MQ has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-4712MQ has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the N150. The info from our database shows that the N150 has more L2 cache than the Core i7-4712MQ. However, both these chips have the same amount of 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.
