Intel Core i7-6870HQ

4C/8T · 3.6 GHz · 45 W

The Core i7-6870HQ is a 6th generation (Skylake) mobile processor positioned just below Intel's top Skylake mobile part, aimed at high-performance laptops that want strong integrated graphics without a discrete GPU. Its Iris Pro Graphics 580, backed by 128 MB of eDRAM, gives noticeably better graphics throughput than the standard HD Graphics found on lower-tier Skylake mobile chips.
