Intel® Core™ i7-4712MQ

The Intel Core i7-4712MQ is a laptop processor with 4 cores and 8 threads, built on the Haswell architecture (22 nm process). It launched in Apr 2014. Clocks run from 2.3 GHz base to 3.3 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 FCPGA946 socket and exposes PCIe 3.0 (16 lanes). Rated TDP is 37 W. Notable platform capabilities: Extended Page Tables (EPT).

The Intel Core i7-4712MQ scores 1,784 in single-core performance and 5,300 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 3,075 for overall performance, 5,943 for productivity performance, 6,126 for creator performance, 5,101 for engineering performance and 6,677 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 1,325 per core, 663 per thread and 143 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 506. Its performance index is 38, so its overall performance is 62% 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 i7-4712MQ scores 19,342 in integer math, 9,873 in floating-point math, 77,434 in compression, 1,536 in cryptography, 406 in physics simulation, 4,337 in vector SIMD, 24 in the prime sieve and 10,728 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 67% below in integer math, 78% below in floating-point math, 66% below in compression, 87% below in cryptography, 63% below in physics simulation, 72% below in vector SIMD, 64% below in the prime sieve and 53% 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 i7-4712MQ has 4 physical cores and runs 8 logical threads. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 2.30 GHz and boosts up to 3.30 GHz.
