Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The Intel Core i7-7920HQ was once a powerful mobile processor. It was introduced in 2017 as part of the Kaby Lake H architecture. Manufactured using the 14 nm process, it provided a solid foundation for demanding notebooks. Even today, it proves to be a reliable choice for everyday tasks. Many users appreciate its consistent performance in office applications and web browsing.

The integrated Intel HD Graphics 630 also enables smooth multimedia playback. Light image editing is also quite possible with this graphics unit. With 8 MB Level 3 Cache, the processor ensures responsive operation. The maximum memory bandwidth of 38 GB/s supports the overall performance. This chip remains a functional option for systems that don't need the very latest hardware.

We were surprised how well it can still keep up in many scenarios. It offers a balanced balance for productivity and digital entertainment.
