About the Intel Core i7-3630QM CPU

The Intel Core i7-3630QM is an end-of-life 4-core (8-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q3 2012 with a suggested retail price of $378. It is part of Intel's Core i7 lineup, which is based on the Ivy Bridge microarchitecture. The i7-3630QM is compatible with Intel Socket G2 (988B) motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 22 nm manufacturing process. It features the Intel HD 4000 integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The Core i7-3630QM supports DDR3 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Core i7-3630QM 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 i7-3630QM 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.

Integrated Graphics

The Core i7-3630QM includes an integrated graphics solution called Intel HD 4000. 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 i7-3630QM has the 342nd best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 18.80% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D. Its 6,954 score and $378 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 18.4. This is the 165th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Perf. Physics benchmark.

About the AMD A10-5745M CPU

The AMD A10-5745M is a 4-core (4-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q2 2013. It is part of AMD's A10 lineup, which is based on the Richland microarchitecture. The A10-5745M is compatible with AMD Socket FP2 motherboards and is fabricated on a 32 nm manufacturing process. It features the Radeon HD 8610G integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The A10-5745M supports DDR3 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the A10-5745M has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 128 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 1 MB, is larger but slower than the L1.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The A10-5745M features 4 total cores which can process 4 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 2.1 GHz, and it can boost up to 2.9 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 A10-5745M includes an integrated graphics solution called Radeon HD 8610G. 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 A10-5745M has the 601st best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 5.83% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
