Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The Intel Core i7-4700MQ was once a central component of many laptops and a powerful mobile processor. Based on the Haswell H architecture, this chip provided a solid foundation for everyday tasks and more. Even today, we see it in many devices where it reliably performs its service. Its 22 nm manufacturing process was a technical advancement at the time and contributed significantly to efficiency.

A notable feature is the integrated graphics unit, the Intel HD Graphics 4600. This GPU enabled smooth playback of HD media and was well-suited for many light games. Various multimedia applications could be used without any problems, which was very advantageous for its time. The generous 6 MB Level 3 cache also helped the processor to process data efficiently and quickly.

This always contributed to a responsive user experience. With a maximum memory bandwidth of 21 GB/s, it was able to handle the necessary data streams. The Intel Core i7-4700MQ remains a good and reliable choice for less demanding applications. It proves how durable well-designed hardware can actually be.
