Intel Core i7-6700T vs Intel Core i7-7700HQ

Core i7-6700T vs Core i7-7700HQ specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-6700T beats the Core i7-7700HQ in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-7700HQ in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Both the Core i7-6700T and Core i7-7700HQ have the same clock speed. Despite this, the Core i7-7700HQ has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-6700T CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-7700HQ 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.
