Core i7-4702HQ Details

The Intel Core i7-4702HQ stands out for its balanced performance in multi-threaded workloads, achieving a multicore score of 4795 and ranking #846 among 2060 processors. This places it in the mid-tier of its generation, offering solid performance for productivity and light content creation tasks. Despite being released over a decade ago, its architecture remains relevant for basic computing needs, though it is no longer competitive with modern CPUs. The processor is built on Intel's 22 nm process and features a 4-core, 8-thread design with a base clock of 2.2 GHz and a turbo frequency of 3.2 GHz, supported by a 5 GT/s bus speed. It operates within a 37 W TDP, making it suitable for laptops and mobile workstations without demanding thermal solutions.

The Core i7-4702HQ is designed for the mainstream mobile market and uses the FCBGA1364 socket, commonly found in laptops from the early 2010s. It supports up to 32 GB of DDR3L 1333/1600 memory across two channels, with a maximum memory bandwidth of 25.6 GB/s. Its integrated HD Graphics 4600 GPU provides basic graphics performance, capable of driving up to three displays with a maximum frequency of 1150 MHz and a base frequency of 400 MHz. While not suitable for modern gaming or GPU-intensive applications, it handles office tasks, media playback, and light multimedia editing efficiently.

The processor supports a wide range of Intel technologies, including Hyper-Threading, Intel AES-NI, AVX2, and Intel VT-x for virtualization. It also includes features such as EIST for power efficiency, TXT for security, and vPro for enterprise management. These capabilities make it a reliable choice for business environments and legacy systems requiring stable performance and support.

In benchmark evaluations, the Core i7-4702HQ scores 4939 in single-core performance, placing it at #976 in the single-core rankings, and achieves an overall score of 4881, ranking #969. These results indicate that while it performs well for its time, it trails behind modern CPUs significantly. Its multicore performance is stronger than its single-core score, suggesting that it benefits more from multi-threaded applications. Compared to its contemporaries like the Core i7-4760HQ and Core i7-4702MQ, the i7-4702HQ is slightly less powerful but still competitive within its class.

As of March 2026, the Core i7-4702HQ is best suited for users maintaining older systems or requiring a reliable processor for everyday tasks. It is not ideal for gaming, video editing, or high-performance computing, but remains a functional option in low-power environments where power efficiency and thermal management are priorities. Its longevity is a testament to Intel's design, though it has been surpassed by generations of faster, more efficient processors.
