Core i7-7920HQ Details

As of March 2026, the Intel Core i7-7920HQ remains a notable mobile processor from the Kaby Lake H generation, representing a high-end offering for laptops and thin-and-light workstations when it was released in 2017. Though now over eight years old, it continues to hold a competitive position in the mobile segment due to its robust architecture and strong multi-threaded performance. Built on Intel's 14 nm process with the Kaby Lake microarchitecture, the i7-7920HQ was designed for power users who needed both performance and integrated graphics capabilities without the need for a discrete GPU.

The processor features four cores and eight threads, enabled by Intel's Hyper-Threading technology, allowing it to efficiently handle demanding multitasking and parallel workloads. With a base clock of 3.1 GHz and a turbo frequency of up to 4.1 GHz, it delivers strong single-threaded performance that remains relevant for everyday productivity and content creation. The chip is manufactured on a 14 nm process and includes 8 MiB of L3 cache, 1 MiB of L2 cache, and 0.25 MiB of L1 cache, ensuring fast data access for both general computing and memory-intensive applications.

Equipped with Intel's HD Graphics 630, the i7-7920HQ offers integrated graphics with 24 execution units and a maximum frequency of 1.1 GHz. This GPU supports up to three displays and is capable of handling light gaming and video playback, making it suitable for users who prefer an all-in-one solution. The processor supports LPDDR3-2133, DDR3L-1600, and DDR4-2400 memory, with a maximum capacity of 64 GiB and a peak memory bandwidth of 35.76 GiB/s across two channels.

Despite its age, the i7-7920HQ maintains strong performance metrics, ranking #561 in overall score with a Passmark Overall Score of 5389. It achieves a Singlecore Score of 5716, placing it at #406 among over 2000 processors, and a Multicore Score of 4898, ranking #726. These results highlight its enduring single-threaded strength, though its multi-threaded performance is now surpassed by modern CPUs. The processor’s TDP of 45 W, with a downclocked variant at 35 W, ensures efficient thermal management in mobile platforms.

The i7-7920HQ supports a wide array of Intel technologies, including AVX2, AES-NI, Turbo Boost 2.0, and Intel Speed Shift, enhancing performance and power efficiency. It also includes features like Intel vPro, Intel VT-x, and Intel TXT, making it suitable for business and enterprise environments. While newer processors have significantly outpaced it in raw performance, the i7-7920HQ remains a reliable choice for users who prioritize longevity, compatibility, and integrated graphics in mobile systems. Its position in the top 500 overall and single-core rankings reflects its lasting impact in the mobile CPU landscape.
