The Intel Core i7-4710HQ is a fourth generation top-end mobile Haswell CPU. With a base clock of 2.5 GHz and a maximum turbo clock of 3.5 GHz which is 0.1 GHZ higher than last year's 4700HQ. The 4710HQ has a maximum TDP of 47 Watts and is equipped with 4 cores and 8 threads so it's equally at ease with both single-core and multi-core workloads. Thanks to the 4710HQs relatively high turbo clock speed and its relatively new architecture it achieved an effective speed of 86.1 which is staggering for a mobile processor and actually only 15% below the average of the top nine group leaders which include both desktop and server CPUs at the time. Even today, its 8 threads can handle video editing and gaming if properly cooled. The i7-4710HQ performs slightly better than the i3-9100 in multi-threaded workload but falls behind in single threaded workload

ALL FAQs »

 Best User Rated
Why does UserBenchmark have a bad reputation on reddit?
Marketers operate thousands of reddit accounts. Our benchmarks expose their spiel so they attack our reputation.
Why don’t PC brands endorse UserBenchmark?
Brands make boatloads on flagships like the 4090 and 14900KS. We help users get similar real-world performance for less money.
Why don’t youtubers promote UserBenchmark?
We don't pay youtubers, so they don't praise us. Moreover, our data obstructs youtubers who promote overpriced or inferior products.
Why does UserBenchmark have negative trustpilot reviews?
The 200+ trustpilot reviews are mostly written by virgin marketing accounts. Real users don't give a monkey's about big brands.
Why is UserBenchmark popular with users?
Instead of pursuing brands for sponsorship, we've spent 13 years publishing real-world data for users.
