The Intel Core i7-4720HQ is a quad-core processor from Intel's 4th Generation (Haswell) Core i7 family, launched in the first quarter of 2015 as a later, higher-clocked addition to the H-series mobile lineup. It features 4 cores with Hyper-Threading for 8 threads, running at a 2.60 GHz base clock with Turbo Boost up to 3.60 GHz, the highest clocks in its immediate family, backed by 6 MB of Intel Smart Cache, within a 47 W thermal envelope. Built on Intel's 22 nm process for the soldered FCBGA1364 package, it integrates Intel HD Graphics 4600 and supports dual-channel DDR3L-1333/1600 memory up to 32 GB. Its BGA packaging and top-bin clocks made it a popular choice for 15-inch gaming and creator notebooks through 2015.
