About the Intel Core i5-10500H CPU

The Intel Core i5-10500H is a 6-core (12-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. The i5-10500H is compatible with FCBGA1440 motherboards and is fabricated on a 14 nm manufacturing process. It features the Intel UHD Graphics for 10th Gen Intel Processors integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

In terms of cache, the Core i5-10500H has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 384 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 1 MB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 12 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Core i5-10500H features 6 total cores which can process 12 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 2500.0 MHz, and it can boost up to 4500.0 MHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture.

Integrated Graphics

The Core i5-10500H includes an integrated graphics solution called Intel UHD Graphics for 10th Gen Intel Processors. 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 Core i5-10500H has the 188th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 33.25% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.

About the Intel Core i7-7700HQ CPU

The Intel Core i7-7700HQ is an end-of-life 4-core (8-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q1 2017 with a suggested retail price of $378. It is part of Intel's Core i7 lineup, which is based on the Kaby Lake-H microarchitecture. The i7-7700HQ is compatible with Intel BGA 1440 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 14 nm manufacturing process. It features the Intel HD Graphics 630 integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The Core i7-7700HQ supports DDR4-2400, DDR3 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Core i7-7700HQ 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 i7-7700HQ 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 3.8 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 Core i7-7700HQ includes an integrated graphics solution called Intel HD Graphics 630. 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 & Value

The Core i7-7700HQ has the 281st best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 23.88% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D. Its 8,833 score and $378 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 23.37.
