Intel® Core™ i7-4860EQ

The Intel Core i7-4860EQ is a laptop processor with 4 cores and 8 threads, built on the Haswell architecture (22 nm process). It launched in Aug 2013. Clocks run from 1.8 GHz base to 3.2 GHz boost. A 6-MB L3 cache backs the cores (1.8 MB per core). The chip drops into the FCBGA1364 socket and exposes PCIe 3.0 (16 lanes). Rated TDP is 47 W.

The Intel Core i7-4860EQ scores 1,670 in single-core performance and 5,516 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 3,035 for overall performance, 5,923 for productivity performance, 6,040 for creator performance, 5,309 for engineering performance and 6,389 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 1,379 per core, 690 per thread and 117 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 443. 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 i7-4860EQ scores 18,767 in integer math, 9,439 in floating-point math, 78,691 in compression, 1,483 in cryptography, 674 in physics simulation, 4,872 in vector SIMD, 42 in the prime sieve and 10,805 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 68% below in integer math, 79% below in floating-point math, 65% below in compression, 87% below in cryptography, 38% below in physics simulation, 69% below in vector SIMD, 37% below in the prime sieve and 52% 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 i7-4860EQ 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 1.80 GHz and boosts up to 3.20 GHz.

The Intel Core i7-4860EQ is a laptop processor, belongs to the Intel Core i7 family, uses the Haswell architecture, carries the codename Haswell and is manufactured on a 22 nm process. It launched in Aug 2013.

The Intel Core i7-4860EQ 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 i7-4860EQ 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.

The Intel Core i7-4860EQ includes integrated graphics (Iris Pro 5200) and clocks the graphics up to 1.00 GHz.

The Intel Core i7-4860EQ uses the FCBGA1364 socket, supports PCI Express 3.0 and provides up to 16 PCIe lanes.
