Core i7-5700HQ Details

Ranking #779 of 2060 in overall performance, the Intel Core i7-5700HQ represents a mid-range mobile processor from an earlier generation, designed for high-performance laptops and ultrabooks. Released in 2015 as part of Intel's Broadwell family, this CPU has aged significantly by modern standards, but it still holds relevance for basic productivity, light content creation, and general-purpose computing tasks. As of March 2026, the i7-5700HQ is considered a legacy device, with its 14 nm manufacturing process and 47 W TDP reflecting the efficiency and thermal design constraints of its time.

Built on Intel's Broadwell microarchitecture, the Core i7-5700HQ features four cores and eight threads, enabled by Hyper-Threading technology. It operates at a base frequency of 2.7 GHz and can boost up to 3.5 GHz under load, providing a solid balance between power and thermal management. The processor supports DDR3L and LPDDR3 memory up to 1866 MHz, with a maximum memory capacity of 32 GB and dual-channel memory architecture, delivering a theoretical memory bandwidth of 25.6 GB/s. It uses the FCBGA1364 socket, typical for mobile platforms, and includes support for PCIe 3.0 with up to 16 lanes.

The integrated Intel HD Graphics 5600 GPU operates at a base frequency of 300 MHz and can burst up to 1050 MHz, offering basic graphics performance suitable for HD video playback, light gaming, and multimedia tasks. It supports up to three displays simultaneously and is capable of handling resolutions up to 4K. While not intended for modern gaming or professional graphics workloads, it provides sufficient graphical capability for everyday use.

In terms of performance, the i7-5700HQ achieves an overall Passmark score of 5114, placing it in the middle tier of all processors evaluated. Its single-core performance scores 5258, ranking #763, while its multicore score of 4898 places it at #726. This indicates that while the CPU performs reasonably well in single-threaded applications, its multicore capabilities are more limited compared to modern offerings. The processor competes with contemporary mobile chips like the Core i5-8400H and Ryzen 3 3200G, which show only marginal improvements in overall performance, suggesting that the i7-5700HQ remains competitive for basic use cases.

The Core i7-5700HQ includes a range of Intel-specific features, such as AES-NI for encryption, AVX2 for enhanced vector processing, and VT-x and VT-d for virtualization. It also supports Intel vPro for enterprise management and EIST for power efficiency. Despite its age, the processor remains stable and reliable in systems that prioritize cost-effective performance over cutting-edge capabilities.

In conclusion, the Intel Core i7-5700HQ is a capable mid-range mobile processor from a bygone era, suited for users who need reliable performance for office work, web browsing, and multimedia consumption. While it cannot compete with modern high-end CPUs in single-core or multicore workloads, it remains a practical option in older laptops or systems where budget constraints limit hardware upgrades. For users seeking modern performance, newer processors with superior architecture and memory support are strongly recommended.
