About the Intel Core i7-4930MX CPU

The Intel Core i7-4930MX is an end-of-life 4-core (8-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q2 2013 with a suggested retail price of $1,096. It is part of Intel's Core i7 Extreme lineup, which is based on the Haswell microarchitecture. The i7-4930MX is compatible with Intel Socket G3 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 i7-4930MX supports DDR3 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Core i7-4930MX 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 8 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Core i7-4930MX 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 3.9 GHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is unlocked, enabling overclocking for those seeking to push the CPU's performance further.

Integrated Graphics

The Core i7-4930MX includes an integrated graphics solution called Intel HD 4600. 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 i7-4930MX has the 287th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 23.59% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D. Its 8,727.5 score and $1,096 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 7.96. This is the 207th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Perf. Physics benchmark.

About the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 4650U CPU

The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 4650U is a 6-core (12-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q2 2020. It is part of AMD's Ryzen 5 lineup, which is based on the Zen 2 microarchitecture. The PRO 4650U is compatible with AMD Socket FP6 motherboards and is fabricated on TSMC's 7 nm manufacturing process. It features the Radeon RX Vega 6 integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The Ryzen 5 PRO 4650U supports DDR4 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously.
