What's the difference between laptops cpus hq,hu,hk..etc

[Anas Dweik]

Hi guys

What's the difference between laptops cpus

For example :- i7 6700hq , i7 6700u , i7 6700hk , i7 6700hu

 

Who is the best for gaming ?

u = low power dual core

 

hq = soldered quad core

 

hk = unlocked soldered quadcore

 

m = socketed dual core

 

mq = socked quad core

 

hu = doesn't exist

 

mx = mobile extreme, so unlocked socketed

 

hq is best bet these days.

If you want the entire list:

• [No Letter] - A desktop class part with no special features.
• H - Mobile part containing a "high performance" GPU.
  • Note: If used with the Core i7, it's usually a quad core part even if the entire name does not contain the Q modifier.
• K - Multiplier is unlocked, allowing for easier overclocking.
• M - Mobile part.
• Q - Quad core mobile part.
  • Note: This can trip you up if you aren’t careful. If you think a Core i7 is always a quad core part, you’ll be in for a surprise if you get a laptop with a Core i7-6500U as it’s a dual-core part.
• R - Contains the Iris Pro GPU.
  • Note: Models can have an Iris Pro GPU but not have an R modifier, such as the Core i7-7560U.
• S - Low power desktop part, usually 65W TDP.
  • This letter seems to be fallen out of use since Skylake, due to the no letter desktop part having a power rating of either 65W or 51W TDP.
• T - Lower power desktop part, usually 35W TDP.
• U - Low power mobile part, usually for Ultrabooks or 2-in-1's.
• X - Extreme part, the highest-end on the consumer spectrum.
  • Note: If used in a mobile Core i7 model, it's usually a quad core part even if the entire name does not contain the Q modifier.
• Y - Ultra low power mobile part, usually for tablets
