Intel Core i7-4960HQ
Benchmarks & Specs

The Intel Core i7-4960HQ was a remarkable mobile processor in its time. It clearly positioned itself in the upper segment of mobile chips. As part of the Haswell H architecture, this processor was manufactured using the then state-of-the-art 22 nm process. This enabled a good balance between performance and energy efficiency for notebooks.

One of its greatest strengths was the integrated graphics solution. The Intel Iris Pro Graphics 5200 offered surprisingly high graphics performance for integrated units of its generation. We were surprised at how well this integrated graphics could handle complex tasks. It enabled far more than just basic screen display.

With its 6 MB Level 3 cache, the Intel Core i7-4960HQ made a significant contribution to the rapid system response. The maximum memory bandwidth of 21 GB/s further supported fast data processing. This processor was designed to reliably handle demanding applications in mobile devices. It provided a solid foundation for productive work.

The Intel Core i7-4960HQ represented the pinnacle of mobile computing power of its era. Even today, it still represents a usable platform for many everyday applications. This combination of efficient manufacturing, strong integrated graphics, and sufficient cache made it a very balanced overall package.
