Core i7-4760HQ Details

Ranking #988 of 2060 in overall performance, the Intel Core i7-4760HQ reflects a processor from a bygone era of mobile computing, launched in February 2014. As of March 2026, it is now over twelve years old, placing it firmly in the category of legacy hardware. Despite its age, the Core i7-4760HQ remains a notable example of Intel’s mobile performance architecture during the Haswell generation, offering a balanced blend of single-core and multi-threaded capabilities for its time. Its performance today is best suited for light productivity, basic multimedia tasks, and legacy software, rather than modern gaming or content creation.

Designed for mobile devices, the Core i7-4760HQ is built on Intel’s 22 nm process and follows the Crystalwell microarchitecture. It features four cores and eight threads, thanks to Intel’s Hyper-Threading technology, enabling efficient multitasking. The base clock runs at 2.1 GHz, with a turbo boost reaching up to 3.3 GHz, allowing it to handle dynamic workloads with relative ease. The processor integrates 7.629 MiB of L3 cache and supports dual-channel DDR3 memory at up to 1600 MT/s, providing a solid foundation for memory-intensive applications of its time. With a TDP of 47 W, it offers a reasonable power-efficiency profile for laptops of that era.

Integrated graphics are provided via the Intel HD 5200, a DirectX 11.1–capable GPU with 24 execution units and a max frequency of 1.15 GHz. While capable of light gaming and video playback, it lacks the power for modern AAA titles. The processor supports PCIe Gen 3 with 16 lanes, enabling fast storage and expansion options through compatible motherboards. It also includes a range of advanced instruction sets, including AVX, AVX2, and FMA3, which enhance performance in scientific computing and media encoding. Virtualization support through VT-x and TXT ensures secure and efficient virtual machine operation.

In benchmark testing, the Core i7-4760HQ achieves an overall score of 4862, with a single-core score of 4937 and a multicore score of 4750. These results place it in the middle tier of the performance spectrum, with its single-core performance ranking slightly higher than its multicore performance. This suggests that the processor is more effective in applications that rely heavily on individual core speed rather than parallel processing. It is outperformed by modern mobile and desktop CPUs, including the Ryzen 7 9800X3D and Core Ultra 7 265K, which dominate the top 50 lists in both single- and multicore performance.

Despite its age, the Core i7-4760HQ still holds relevance in older laptops and systems where upgrading is not feasible. It is best suited for users needing a reliable, low-power processor for everyday computing tasks. While it lacks the power of contemporary processors, its balanced design and support for key technologies make it a capable workhorse for basic productivity, web browsing, and light multimedia use in legacy environments.
