About the Intel Core i7-4870HQ CPU

The Intel Core i7-4870HQ is an end-of-life 4-core (8-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q3 2014. It is part of Intel's Core i7 lineup, which is based on the Crystal Well microarchitecture. The i7-4870HQ is compatible with Intel BGA 1364 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 22 nm manufacturing process. It features the Intel HD 5200 integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The Core i7-4870HQ supports DDR3 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Core i7-4870HQ 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 i7-4870HQ 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 2.5 GHz, and it can boost up to 3.7 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 i7-4870HQ includes an integrated graphics solution called Intel HD 5200. 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 i7-4870HQ has the 285th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 720 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 23.62% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.

About the Intel Core i7-10610U CPU

The Intel Core i7-10610U is an end-of-life 4-core (8-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q2 2020. It is part of Intel's Core i7 lineup, which is based on the Comet Lake-U microarchitecture. The i7-10610U is compatible with Intel BGA 1440 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 14 nm manufacturing process. It features the UHD Graphics integrated graphics solution.
