Summary

The Intel Core i7-4850HQ was a very powerful mobile processor for its time. It was based on the advanced Haswell H architecture and manufactured using the modern 22-nanometer process. This combination enabled considerable computing power for demanding tasks. A special feature was the integrated graphics.

The Intel Iris Pro Graphics 5200 offered surprisingly good graphics performance for an iGPU. Back then, we experienced how it could even render some games smoothly. The Iris Pro Graphics was also a great help for visual applications. The processor also had a generous 6 MB Level 3 cache. This ensured significantly faster data access and offered advantages in complex workloads.

With a maximum memory bandwidth of 21 GB/s, it supported the overall performance of the system. The Intel Core i7-4850HQ was often found in premium notebooks. It provided a solid foundation for users who needed performance on the go. We appreciated its ability to run demanding programs well. It represented a successful combination of raw power and reasonable efficiency.
