Intel Core i7-4910MQ vs Intel Core i7-4810MQ

Core i7-4910MQ vs Core i7-4810MQ comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-4910MQ beats the Core i7-4810MQ in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i7-4810MQ has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-4910MQ has slightly more cores than the Core i7-4810MQ. Indeed, the Core i7-4910MQ has 4 cores compared to 3 cores found in the Core i7-4810MQ. It also has more threads than the Core i7-4810MQ. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-4910MQ has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-4810MQ. Also, the Core i7-4910MQ 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 cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i7-4810MQ has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-4910MQ. Despite this, the Core i7-4910MQ has slightly more L3 cache compared to the Core i7-4810MQ.

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 i7-4910MQ has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
