Core i5-7440HQ Details

With a 45 W TDP and a base clock of 2.8 GHz, the Intel Core i5-7440HQ stands as a mid-tier mobile processor from the Kaby Lake generation, released in 2017. Though now over six years old, it remains relevant in budget and mid-range laptops due to its balance of performance and power efficiency. Built on Intel's 14 nm process, the chip features a quad-core, quad-thread design with a 3.8 GHz turbo frequency, enabling strong single-threaded performance despite its age. The integrated HD Graphics 630 GPU, with 24 execution units and a max frequency of 1.0 GHz, supports basic graphics workloads and multimedia playback, making it suitable for everyday computing without a discrete GPU.

The processor’s cache hierarchy includes 0.25 MiB of L1 cache, 1 MiB of L2 cache, and a substantial 6 MiB L3 cache, which helps maintain high memory throughput in multi-threaded applications. It supports DDR4-2400 and DDR3L-1600 memory across two channels, with a maximum capacity of 64 GiB and a bandwidth of 35.76 GiB/s. It is designed for the FCBGA-1440 package and uses the Intel Sunrise Point chipset, operating at a 1.52 V maximum core voltage. The chip also includes Intel's full suite of technologies, including AVX2, AES-NI, and Intel Turbo Boost 2.0, ensuring compatibility with modern software and efficient encryption tasks.

In benchmark testing, the Core i5-7440HQ achieves a Passmark Overall Score of 4737, ranking #1073 out of 2060 processors, with single-core and multicore scores of 4823 and 4608, respectively. While it holds a competitive edge over some older mobile CPUs like the Core i7-4870HQ, it trails behind more recent offerings such as the Core i7-4550U. In the single-core category, it ranks just behind processors like the Core i7-3635QM and the Xeon E5-2697 v2, demonstrating its enduring strength in tasks that rely heavily on clock speed. However, its multicore performance is less competitive, lagging behind modern quad-core and higher-core designs.

As of March 2026, the Core i5-7440HQ is best suited for general productivity, light content creation, and entry-level gaming on integrated graphics. While it no longer competes with today’s high-performance mobile CPUs, its combination of integrated graphics, power efficiency, and legacy support makes it a practical choice in cost-sensitive systems. It remains a viable option for users prioritizing reliability and compatibility over cutting-edge performance.
