Intel Core i7-4800MQ vs Intel Core i7-4930MX

Core i7-4800MQ vs Core i7-4930MX comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-4800MQ performs better than the Core i7-4930MX. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4930MX in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-4930MX has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-4800MQ. Also, the Core i7-4930MX has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-4800MQ CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-4930MX 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. The Core i7-4930MX also has slightly more L3 cache.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core i7-4800MQ has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
