About the Intel Core i7-6820HK CPU

The Intel Core i7-6820HK is a 4-core (8-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. The i7-6820HK 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 i7-6820HK 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. 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 8 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Core i7-6820HK 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 2700.0 MHz, and it can boost up to 3600.0 MHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture.

Integrated Graphics

The Core i7-6820HK includes an integrated graphics solution called Intel HD Graphics 530. 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 i7-6820HK has the 260th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 25.60% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.

About the Intel Core i7-4980HQ CPU

The Intel Core i7-4980HQ is an end-of-life 4-core (8-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q3 2013. It is part of Intel's Core i7 lineup, which is based on the Crystal Well microarchitecture. The i7-4980HQ 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 i7-4980HQ supports DDR3 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Core i7-4980HQ 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 i7-4980HQ 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 4.0 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 i7-4980HQ 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 i7-4980HQ has the 243rd best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 27.58% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
