Core i7-4900MQ Details

The Core i7-4900MQ ranks just behind the Core i7-7820HK in multicore performance, with a score of 4856 compared to the latter's 4857, placing it at #777 among 2060 processors. This close proximity underscores its strong multi-threaded capabilities for its generation, though it falls short of newer Intel offerings. As of March 2026, the i7-4900MQ is a well-established processor from Intel's Haswell-E family, originally released in 2013. While now over a decade old, it still holds relevance in legacy systems and certain embedded applications due to its robust feature set.

Built on a 22 nm process, the Core i7-4900MQ features four cores and eight threads, leveraging Intel's Hyper-Threading technology to enhance multitasking and parallel workloads. It operates at a base frequency of 2.8 GHz, with a maximum turbo frequency of 3.8 GHz, providing a significant boost under load. The processor supports DDR3L memory at speeds up to 1600 MHz, with a maximum capacity of 32 GB across two channels, delivering a peak memory bandwidth of 25.6 GB/s. It uses the FCPGA946 socket and has a thermal design power (TDP) of 47 W, making it suitable for mobile and compact desktop platforms.

The integrated HD Graphics 4600 GPU features a base frequency of 400 MHz and a maximum boost of 1300 MHz, supporting up to three displays. While not a graphics powerhouse, it offers decent performance for basic multimedia and light gaming. The processor supports a range of advanced features, including AES-NI for encryption, AVX2 for vectorized operations, and Intel VT-x and VT-d for virtualization. It also includes Intel vPro for enterprise management and EIST for power efficiency.

In single-core performance, the i7-4900MQ achieves a score of 5333, placing it at #705 among 2060 CPUs. This indicates a solid single-threaded performance, though it trails behind modern processors like the Core i5-1035G7 and Ryzen 5 3400G. Overall, the processor scores 5142, ranking #758 in the broader comparison, showing a balanced performance profile that excels in multi-threaded applications but is outpaced by contemporary designs.

Despite its age, the Core i7-4900MQ remains a capable processor for general computing, office work, and light content creation. Its integrated graphics and support for ECC memory make it a viable option in older systems where upgrading is not feasible. While it no longer competes with the latest high-end CPUs, it holds its own in legacy environments and offers a reliable foundation for users who prioritize compatibility and cost-effectiveness over cutting-edge performance.
