About This Product

The Intel Core i7-4800MQ is a 4th generation Haswell mobile processor with 4 cores and 8 threads, operating at a base clock of 2.7 GHz and a boost clock of 3.7 GHz. It was designed for performance laptops and offers solid multi-threaded performance for its era. While capable for general productivity and light content creation, its integrated graphics are not suitable for modern gaming, and its CPU performance is significantly outpaced by contemporary processors.

Best for: Legacy Laptop Upgrade

Pros

Good multi-threaded performance for its generation
Suitable for general productivity tasks
Reliable for older software applications

Cons

Outdated integrated graphics for gaming
High power consumption compared to modern mobile CPUs
Significantly slower than current generation processors

Verdict
“Best for upgrading or maintaining older laptops for basic productivity and light tasks.”

Upgrade From

vs Intel Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4 GHz Quad-Core Processor

Multi-core 2,808 · $53

"8% better single-core, 13% better multi-core"

Upgrade Verdict

This is a sidegrade, not an upgrade. You're moving from a mobile CPU to a desktop CPU, but the i5-3570K is an older generation with fewer threads and higher power consumption. It's not worth the $52.91.
