Core i7-7700HQ vs Core i7-4930MX comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-7700HQ performs better than the Core i7-4930MX. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4930MX in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-4930MX has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-7700HQ. Also, the Core i7-4930MX has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-7700HQ CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-4930MX CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i7-7700HQ has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
