Intel Core i7-6700 vs Intel Core i7-4702MQ

Core i7-6700 vs Core i7-4702MQ benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-6700 is faster than the Core i7-4702MQ. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4702MQ 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 i7-6700 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i7-4702MQ. Also, the Core i7-6700 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-4702MQ outputs less heat than Core i7-6700 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. 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 i7-6700 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-4702MQ. The Core i7-6700 also has slightly more 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 i7-6700 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
