I7 4720HQ Vs i7 6700Hq

[Nagisa Shiota]

Hello Guys ^^ Umm may i ask what is the difference between those two ?? Iam still confuse what to chose 

A Laptop that has I7 -4720Hq

But has Gtx 970m 3gb ddr5 

And A Laptop that is i7-6700Hq

But has Gtx 960m 4gb ddr5 

What is the gap or difference between the cpu ? Thank again everyone ^^

The 970m is miles ahead of the 960m. The two i7 will perform roughly the same in gaming, and the 4gb on the 960m is ridiculous. 4gb on the 970m would be ideal but even with 3gb it's still worth it over the 960m.

The 6700hq is a better cpu, 14nm process node, and more efficient architecture. I would go for the 6700hq, because it most likely has a better battery life
EDIT: performance wise, the one with the 970m is the better choice, but it really depends what you are going to use the laptop for, and what resolution display you have. For example, my 650m on my laptop is enough to play most games at 1080p, but some games (such as battlefeild) can only run at 720p. I find that for work purposes, the GPU doesn't matter too much (just as long you have enough vram, 2GB is probs enough).

I used the 4720hq daily under programming load and I can assure you it's not that different from the 6700hq in terms of performance and thermals ^^ The only thing better with the 6700hq is the consumption, it helps with battery life for sure

i'd go with the 6700hq, its newer. although they will perform the same in terms of cpu performance.
