Bold: what's the 6 core-based successor called? Underline: wait, WAT. How is that even possible? Isn't the 4700U a 15W chip and the 7700 is a 45w chip? What am I missing? |
Cinebench R20:
Intel i7 7700HQ (45w) (4c/8t) = single thread score : 370. Multi thread score : 1774.
AMD Ryzen 7 4700U (15w) (8c/8t) = single thread score : 472. Multi thread score : 2647.
the 7700HQ is a 4 core cpu.
the 4700U is a 8 core cpu.
"how is that even possible? Isn't the 4700U a 15W chip?"
Yes it is :)
AMD did quite alot of optimisations to get their "U" line to be as power effecient as possible.
Part of it is AMD is useing a 7nm chip, and Intel's 7700HQ is on a 14nm node.
