Intel Core i7-6700T vs Intel Core i7-4870HQ

Core i7-6700T vs Core i7-4870HQ benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-6700T performs better than the Core i7-4870HQ. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4870HQ in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-6700T has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-4870HQ. Despite this, the Core i7-4870HQ has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-6700T CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-4870HQ CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 i7-6700T has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
