Core i7-6770HQ Details

For users seeking a capable mobile processor from the mid-2010s that balances performance and power efficiency, the Intel Core i7-6770HQ remains a relevant option, especially in older laptops where its 45 W TDP provides a stable thermal profile. Released in 2015 as part of Intel’s Skylake-H architecture, this quad-core, eight-thread CPU is built on a 14 nm process and targets the high-performance mobile segment, particularly in gaming and content creation laptops. While dated by today's standards, it still holds up in certain workloads due to its strong single-threaded performance and integrated Iris Pro Graphics 580 GPU.

The Core i7-6770HQ operates at a base frequency of 2.6 GHz and can boost up to 3.5 GHz on a single core, leveraging Intel’s Turbo Boost 2.0 technology. It features 4 MB of L2 cache and a 6 MB L3 cache, with a total L1 cache of 0.25 MiB split into 0.125 MiB for instruction and data. The processor supports dual-channel DDR4-2133, DDR3L-1600, and LPDDR3-1866 memory, enabling a peak memory bandwidth of 31.79 GiB/s. With a TDP of 45 W and a downclocked variant at 35 W, it maintains efficiency while delivering sustained performance.

Integrated into the design is the Iris Pro Graphics 580, which includes 72 execution units and can reach a max frequency of 950 MHz. This GPU supports up to three displays and is suitable for light gaming and multimedia tasks. The chip also includes extensive instruction set support, including AVX, AVX2, AES-NI, and Intel’s Secure Key and Software Guard Extensions, ensuring security and performance in modern applications.

Benchmarking reveals a balanced performance profile. The Core i7-6770HQ achieves a single-core score of 5395, ranking #648 out of 2060 processors, and a multicore score of 5068, placing it at #587. In the overall score, it lands at #644 with 5264, indicating it performs well in single-threaded applications but trails behind more modern CPUs in sustained workloads. It compares closely with processors like the Intel Core i7-4750HQ and Xeon E5-2470 v2, which are older or server-oriented, while being slightly outperformed by newer mobile chips like the Core i7-10750H.

As of March 2026, the Core i7-6770HQ is best suited for users who need reliable performance in legacy systems or who are upgrading from older laptops. While it may not compete with today’s top-tier mobile processors, its strong single-core performance and integrated graphics make it a capable choice for productivity, light video editing, and moderate gaming. Its age, however, means it lacks newer technologies like PCIe 4.0 or DDR5 support, limiting its relevance in next-generation systems.
