About the AMD Ryzen 5 7520U CPU

The AMD Ryzen 5 7520U is a 4-core (8-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q3 2022. It is part of AMD's Ryzen 5 lineup, which is based on the Zen 2 microarchitecture. The 7520U is compatible with AMD Socket FP6 motherboards and is fabricated on TSMC's 6 nm manufacturing process. It features the Radeon 610M integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The Ryzen 5 7520U supports DDR5 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 5 7520U has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 64 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 512 KB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 4 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Ryzen 5 7520U features 4 total cores which can process 8 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 2.8 GHz, and it can boost up to 4.3 GHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is locked, making it incapable of overclocking for pushing performance further.

Integrated Graphics

The Ryzen 5 7520U includes an integrated graphics solution called Radeon 610M. This graphics processor is directly integrated into the CPU and is not as powerful as a dedicated graphics card. While integrated graphics can handle basic tasks like web browsing and office applications, it is not suitable for more demanding activities such as gaming or video editing, where a dedicated graphics card offers superior performance.

Benchmark Performance

The Ryzen 5 7520U has the 323rd best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 20.93% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.

About the Intel Core i7-4700HQ CPU

The Intel Core i7-4700HQ is an end-of-life 4-core (8-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q2 2013. It is part of Intel's Core i7 lineup, which is based on the Crystal Well microarchitecture. The i7-4700HQ is compatible with Intel BGA 1364 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 22 nm manufacturing process. It features the Intel HD 4600 integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The Core i7-4700HQ supports DDR3 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Core i7-4700HQ has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 64 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 256 KB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 6 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Core i7-4700HQ features 4 total cores which can process 8 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 2.4 GHz, and it can boost up to 3.4 GHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is locked, making it incapable of overclocking for pushing performance further.
