About the Intel Core i7-11370H CPU

The Intel Core i7-11370H is a 4-core (8-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q1 2021 with a suggested retail price of $426. It is part of Intel's Core i7 lineup, which is based on the Tiger Lake-H microarchitecture. The i7-11370H is compatible with Intel BGA 1449 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 10 nm manufacturing process. It features the Iris XE 96EU integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The Core i7-11370H supports DDR4 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Core i7-11370H has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 80 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 1.25 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 i7-11370H 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 3.0 GHz, and it can boost up to 4.8 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 i7-11370H includes an integrated graphics solution called Iris XE 96EU. 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 i7-11370H has the 204th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 31.68% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D. Its 11,719 score and $426 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 27.51. This is the 132nd best in value for the 3DMark 11 Perf. Physics benchmark.

About the Intel Core i7-6700HQ CPU

The Intel Core i7-6700HQ is a 4-core (8-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. The i7-6700HQ is compatible with FCBGA1440 motherboards and is fabricated on a 14 nm manufacturing process. It features the Intel HD Graphics 530 integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

In terms of cache, the Core i7-6700HQ has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 256 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions.
