Intel Core i7-8705G vs Intel Core i7-4800MQ

Core i7-8705G vs Core i7-4800MQ specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-4800MQ is faster than the Core i7-8705G. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-8705G in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-8705G has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-4800MQ. Also, the Core i7-8705G has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-4800MQ outputs less heat than Core i7-8705G thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches. The Core i7-8705G also has slightly more L3 cache.

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 i7-8705G has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
