Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The Intel Core i7-6920HQ was a notable mobile processor in its time. It is based on the Skylake H architecture and was manufactured in a 14 nm process. This enabled a good balance of performance and energy efficiency for notebooks. We believe that it still provides a solid base for everyday tasks today.

Its integrated Intel HD Graphics 530 was sufficient for many applications at the time. It allows you to watch videos and work with Office programs without an additional graphics card. The 8 MB Level 3 cache also supports smooth work with various applications. This processor was often found in premium notebooks.

It is still reliable for web browsing or light image editing. The Intel Core i7-6920HQ is an example of durable technology. It continues to perform its tasks brilliantly for simple usage scenarios. This shows how robust and well thought out the development of this processor was at the time.
  • Skylake H Architecture
  • Integrated Intel HD Graphics 530
