Intel® Core™ i7-4700HQ

The Intel Core i7-4700HQ is a laptop processor with 4 cores and 8 threads, built on the Haswell architecture (22 nm process). It launched in Apr 2013. Clocks run from 2.4 GHz base to 3.4 GHz boost. A 6-MB L3 cache backs the cores (1.8 MB per core). Maximum addressable memory is 32 GB. The chip drops into the FCBGA1364 socket and exposes PCIe 3.0 (16 lanes). Rated TDP is 47 W. Notable platform capabilities: Extended Page Tables (EPT).

The Intel Core i7-4700HQ scores 1,775 in single-core performance and 5,571 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 3,145 for overall performance, 6,106 for productivity performance, 6,259 for creator performance, 5,362 for engineering performance and 6,718 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 1,393 per core, 696 per thread and 119 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 459. Its performance index is 39, so its overall performance is 61% 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 i7-4700HQ scores 20,448 in integer math, 10,345 in floating-point math, 83,531 in compression, 1,565 in cryptography, 413 in physics simulation, 4,876 in vector SIMD, 24 in the prime sieve and 11,357 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, 63% below in compression, 86% below in cryptography, 62% below in physics simulation, 69% below in vector SIMD, 64% below in the prime sieve and 50% 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 i7-4700HQ has 4 physical cores and runs 8 logical threads. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 2.40 GHz and boosts up to 3.40 GHz.
