About the Intel Core i7-6920HQ CPU

The Intel Core i7-6920HQ is a 4-core (8-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. The i7-6920HQ 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 i7-6920HQ 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 i7-6920HQ 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 2900.0 MHz, and it can boost up to 3800.0 MHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture.

Integrated Graphics

The Core i7-6920HQ 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 i7-6920HQ has the 284th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 23.77% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.

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. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 5 PRO 4650U 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 512 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 Ryzen 5 PRO 4650U features 6 total cores which can process 12 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 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 Ryzen 5 PRO 4650U includes an integrated graphics solution called Radeon RX Vega 6. 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 Ryzen 5 PRO 4650U has the 289th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 23.53% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
