Intel Core i7-4930MX vs Intel Core i7-4710MQ

Core i7-4930MX vs Core i7-4710MQ comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-4710MQ is faster than the Core i7-4930MX. Despite this, the Core i7-4930MX has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-4930MX has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-4710MQ. Also, the Core i7-4930MX has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-4710MQ outputs less heat than Core i7-4930MX thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, both these CPUs have the same 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 i7-4930MX has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
