About the Intel Core i7-7600U CPU

The Intel Core i7-7600U is a 2-core (4-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. The i7-7600U is compatible with FCBGA1356 motherboards and is fabricated on a 14 nm manufacturing process.

Memory and Cache

In terms of cache, the Core i7-7600U 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 512 KB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 4 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Core i7-7600U features 2 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 2800.0 MHz, and it can boost up to 3900.0 MHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture.

Integrated Graphics

The Core i7-7600U does not include an integrated graphics solution. A dedicated graphics card will be required if you require a monitor with your computer.

Benchmark Performance

The Core i7-7600U has the 420th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 12.37% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.

About the AMD Ryzen 7 3700U CPU

The AMD Ryzen 7 3700U is a 4-core (8-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q1 2019. It is part of AMD's Ryzen 7 lineup, which is based on the Zen+ microarchitecture. The 3700U is compatible with AMD Socket FP5 motherboards and is fabricated on GlobalFoundries's 12 nm manufacturing process. It features the Radeon Vega 10 integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The Ryzen 7 3700U supports DDR4 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 7 3700U has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 96 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 4 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Ryzen 7 3700U 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 2.3 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 7 3700U includes an integrated graphics solution called Radeon Vega 10. 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 7 3700U has the 397th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 14.64% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
