Recently I had to purchase a laptop for my friend so quite naturally I went to an ambitious adventure in the local laptop market˳ Nothing gives me more delight than to walk through the aisles of laptop markets in search of the one that I would just fall in love with˳ Fun as it was for me, it was also quite eventful˳ One hilarious event that I recall and would like to share is an argument that occurred between me and a stubborn salesperson˳
In most cases lousy salesperson would normally yield to the customer if he/she seems to possess superior knowledge regarding the product, but this one impossible pig-headed salesperson was keen on swindling me till the end˳ Although his deceptive methods had little influence on me, I had lots of fun picking his brains˳
The argument basically occurred over the subject of whether Intel Core i7-4500U is a better processor than Intel Core i7-4700QM˳ His side of the argument was that they both are practically the same˳ That is clearly not true˳ In fact the difference between the two is not subtle but quite the opposite˳ I believe most of you would be quick to point out the better one here˳ If that is so then you are well informed; however, for those who can’t, unfortunately there are high chances that you would have fallen for the trickery had you been in my position˳
Following is the list of best fourth generation Intel core i7 processors for laptops˳ By the end of the list you will clearly see who won the argument˳
Coming at number 5 is the Intel Core i7-4702MQ˳ With the base clock speed of 2˳2 GHz and the ability to boost up its clock speed to 3˳2 automatically under heavier loads, this is one of the most powerful processors that you can find on laptops˳ Intel Core i7-4702MQ is a quad core processor that can run 8 threads at a time˳ The designation MQ has meaning˳ ‘M’ stands for mobile and ‘Q’ stands for quad˳ Priced at $378 it is not the best valued processor in the market though˳
At number 4 is the 4700MQ and yes this is the processor that was the subject of my little argument˳ With base speeds of 2˳4 GHz and boost to 3˳4 GHz, this processors is one of the of most common high end Intel processors available in the market at the moment˳ Many brands tend to feature this processor model in their flagship multimedia laptops˳ This processor is also priced at $378 and therefore is a much better bargain the one mentioned previously˳ The laptops featuring this processor range from $800 to $2000˳
At number 3 is my personal favorite: Intel Core i7-4800MQ˳ A quad core processor with a base speed of 2˳7 GHz and a boost that takes it to 3˳7 GHz˳ Priced at $378 like the previous two mentioned here, this is a processor that packs the best bang for the buck˳ Unfortunately, there is a bit of sorcery involved in the laptops that feature this processor˳ This processor cannot be found in laptops sub $1000 range˳ In fact MSI GP60 2OD-072US was the cheapest one that I could find˳ Other laptops harboring this processor include HP Envy 15 TouchSmart and Lenovo IdeaPad Y510p˳
You have now reached number 2˳ So let me pull off the curtains and introduce the runner up, the crown of Intel, the Intel Core i7-4900MQ processor˳ The excitement of witnessing this processor; however, would be short lived if you consider the value for money˳ At $200 more than the previous 3 mentioned here, this processor features only an extra 0˳1 GHz and an extra 2 MB of cache˳ This brings the clock speed of this processor to 2˳8-3˳8 GHz with 8MB of cache˳ Not a very a good bargain if you ask me˳
It is now time for me to unleash the jewel in the crown, the majesty of Intel˳ At number 1 it is the royal highness Intel Core i7 4930MX quad core ‘extreme’ processor˳ You cannot fathom a processor with better performance than this˳ If your wallet is heavy enough to afford this $1,096 behemoth then by all means go for it˳ Yes, you do get to earn all the bragging rights for free˳ This processor is featured in some of the top gaming grade Lenovo Y510, Alienware and Toshiba Qosmio series laptops˳
As you can see, the Intel Core i7-4500U is not even in the radar˳ You simply can’t compare Toyota Corolla with Bugatti Veyron now can you? I hope you enjoyed and learned something from this article˳ Always remember to be an educated customer so that you do not get swindled by the deceptive and misleading information fed to you buy the salesperson˳
