Intel Core i7-4800MQ vs Intel Core i7-4710MQ

Core i7-4800MQ vs Core i7-4710MQ comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-4800MQ performs better than the Core i7-4710MQ. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4710MQ in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-4800MQ has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-4710MQ. Also, the Core i7-4800MQ 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. The data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches and L3 cache.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i7-4800MQ has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
