Intel® Core™ i7-4930K

The Intel Core i7-4930K is a desktop processor with 6 cores and 12 threads, built on the Ivy Bridge architecture (22 nm process). It launched in Jul 2013. Clocks run from 3.4 GHz base to 3.9 GHz boost. A 12-MB L3 cache backs the cores (2.3 MB per core). It addresses DDR3 memory up to 64 GB across 4 channels. The chip drops into the FCLGA2011 socket and exposes PCIe 3.0 (40 lanes). Rated TDP is 130 W. Notable platform capabilities: Extended Page Tables (EPT).

The Intel Core i7-4930K scores 1,964 in single-core performance and 9,389 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 4,294 for overall performance, 8,852 for productivity performance, 8,699 for creator performance, 9,330 for engineering performance and 8,239 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 1,565 per core, 782 per thread and 72 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 377. Its performance index is 53, so its overall performance is 47% 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 i7-4930K scores 34,695 in integer math, 17,482 in floating-point math, 157,626 in compression, 2,802 in cryptography, 705 in physics simulation, 6,793 in vector SIMD, 41 in the prime sieve and 21,391 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 41% below in integer math, 62% below in floating-point math, 31% below in compression, 76% below in cryptography, 35% below in physics simulation, 56% below in vector SIMD, 39% below in the prime sieve and 6% 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 i7-4930K has 6 physical cores and runs 12 logical threads. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 3.40 GHz and boosts up to 3.90 GHz.

The Intel Core i7-4930K is a desktop processor, belongs to the Intel Core i7 family, uses the Ivy Bridge architecture, carries the codename Ivy Bridge E and is manufactured on a 22 nm process. It launched in Jul 2013.

The Intel Core i7-4930K has 384 KB of L1 cache, 1.50 MB of L2 cache and 12 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 13.9 MB of cache, or 2.31 MB per core. Each core has 256 KB of private L2 cache.

The Intel Core i7-4930K has a 3-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 384 KB, L2 at 1.5 MB and L3 at 12 MB. L3 is the largest level and makes up about 86% of the cache listed here.

The Intel Core i7-4930K supports DDR3 memory, addresses up to 64 GB of memory, uses 4 memory channels, runs memory at up to 1,866 MT/s and delivers up to 59.7 GB/s of memory bandwidth. It does not support DDR5, DDR4 and LPDDR memory.

The Intel Core i7-4930K does not include integrated graphics, so a discrete graphics card is required for display output.

The Intel Core i7-4930K uses the FCLGA2011 socket, supports PCI Express 3.0 and provides up to 40 PCIe lanes.

The Intel Core i7-4930K has a rated TDP of 130 W.
