Intel Core i7-4712MQ vs Intel N97

Core i7-4712MQ vs N97 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-4712MQ beats the N97 in overall performance. Despite this, the N97 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-4712MQ has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-4712MQ has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the N97. The info from our database shows that the N97 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.
