The 7700HQ  was the last one of that line. The reason is because the Q stands for Quadcore and the top i7 chips after that one had 6 cores, it just didn't make sense anymore.

Speaking of which, I got a 7700HQ, and it gets destroyed by the 4700U

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.
