Intel Core i7-8650U vs Intel Core i7-4810MQ

Core i7-8650U vs Core i7-4810MQ comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-8650U beats the Core i7-4810MQ in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4810MQ in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-8650U has slightly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i7-4810MQ that has 3 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i7-4810MQ. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-4810MQ has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i7-8650U. Despite this, the Core i7-8650U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-8650U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-4810MQ CPU because of its significantly 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 i7-8650U 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 i7-8650U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
