Intel® Core™ i7-7700HQ

The Intel Core i7-7700HQ is a laptop processor with 4 cores and 8 threads, built on the Kaby Lake architecture (14 nm process). It launched in Jan 2017. Clocks run from 2.8 GHz base to 3.8 GHz boost. A 6-MB L3 cache backs the cores (1.8 MB per core). It addresses DDR4, LPDDR3 memory up to 64 GB across 2 channels. The chip drops into the FCBGA1440 socket and exposes PCIe 3.0 (16 lanes). Rated TDP is 45 W. Notable platform capabilities: Extended Page Tables (EPT). Feex currently counts 1 machine in its hardware fleet with exactly this processor.

The Intel Core i7-7700HQ scores 2,045 in single-core performance and 6,888 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 3,753 for overall performance, 7,340 for productivity performance, 7,469 for creator performance, 6,630 for engineering performance and 7,857 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 1,722 per core, 861 per thread and 153 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 560. Its performance index is 47, so its overall performance is 53% 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 i7-7700HQ scores 22,195 in integer math, 13,729 in floating-point math, 96,904 in compression, 2,370 in cryptography, 490 in physics simulation, 6,243 in vector SIMD, 22 in the prime sieve and 12,480 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 62% below in integer math, 70% below in floating-point math, 58% below in compression, 79% below in cryptography, 55% below in physics simulation, 60% below in vector SIMD, 67% 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 i7-7700HQ has 4 physical cores and runs 8 logical threads. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 2.80 GHz and boosts up to 3.80 GHz.
