Intel® Core™ i7-3740QM

The Intel Core i7-3740QM is a laptop processor with 4 cores and 8 threads, built on the Ivy Bridge architecture (22 nm process). It launched in Sep 2012. Clocks run from 2.7 GHz base to 3.7 GHz boost. A 6-MB L3 cache backs the cores (1.8 MB per core). Rated TDP is 45 W.

The Intel Core i7-3740QM scores 1,887 in single-core performance and 5,722 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 3,286 for overall performance, 6,361 for productivity performance, 6,544 for creator performance, 5,507 for engineering performance and 7,092 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 1,431 per core, 715 per thread and 127 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 490. Its performance index is 41, so its overall performance is 59% below the Intel Core i5-12400 (index 100). Each bar shows the score as a share of a reference ceiling, which is the larger of the 99th-percentile score across the Feex CPU database and a fixed baseline.

Scores for individual PassMark CPU Mark test categories. Higher is better. These are measured test scores, not computed from the single-core and multi-core ratings.

In the individual workload tests the Intel Core i7-3740QM scores 20,425 in integer math, 10,467 in floating-point math, 93,457 in compression, 1,687 in cryptography, 438 in physics simulation, 3,838 in vector SIMD, 25 in the prime sieve and 12,432 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 65% below in integer math, 77% below in floating-point math, 59% below in compression, 85% below in cryptography, 60% below in physics simulation, 75% below in vector SIMD, 63% below in the prime sieve and 45% below in sorting. Each bar shows the score as a share of that workload's reference ceiling, the larger of the 99th-percentile score across CPUs with a recorded value and a fixed baseline.

The Intel Core i7-3740QM has 4 physical cores and runs 8 logical threads. It does not use a hybrid performance and efficiency core layout. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 2.70 GHz and boosts up to 3.70 GHz.

The Intel Core i7-3740QM is a laptop processor, belongs to the Intel Core i7 family, uses the Ivy Bridge architecture, carries the codename Ivy Bridge and is manufactured on a 22 nm process. It launched in Sep 2012.

The Intel Core i7-3740QM has 256 KB of L1 cache, 1 MB of L2 cache and 6 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 7.3 MB of cache, or 1.81 MB per core. Each core has 256 KB of private L2 cache.

The Intel Core i7-3740QM has a 3-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 256 KB, L2 at 1 MB and L3 at 6 MB. L3 is the largest level and makes up about 83% of the cache listed here.
