i7-5750HQ Clock Speeds
Base and boost frequencies
Clock speed is a critical factor in Core i7-5750HQ benchmark performance, measured in GHz. The base clock represents the guaranteed operating frequency, while the boost clock indicates maximum single-core performance under optimal conditions. Higher clock speeds translate to faster single-threaded performance, which is essential for gaming and applications that don't fully utilize multiple cores. The Core i7-5750HQ by Intel can dynamically adjust its frequency based on workload and thermal headroom.
Intel's Core i7-5750HQ Cache Hierarchy
L1, L2, L3 cache sizes
Cache memory is ultra-fast storage built directly into the i7-5750HQ processor die. L1 cache provides the fastest access for frequently used data, while L2 and L3 caches offer progressively larger storage with slightly higher latency. Larger cache sizes significantly improve CPU benchmark scores by reducing memory access times. The Core i7-5750HQ's cache configuration is optimized for both gaming performance and productivity workloads, minimizing data fetch delays during intensive computations.
Broadwell Architecture & Process

About Intel Core i7-5750HQ
The Intel Core i7-5750HQ is a 4-core, 8-thread Broadwell processor with the Broadwell-H codename, built on Intel’s 14 nm process with a 182 mm² die. Its base clock is 2.50 GHz and its boost clock is 3.40 GHz. The data pack lists no benchmark entries: the benchmarks array is empty and the average benchmark score is 0. The chip sits at the 50th percentile among all CPUs in the database. It has a 47 W TDP, and its launch MSRP is $434.
Benchmark Performance
Benchmark results indicate that no measured performance samples exist for this SKU. With the benchmarks list empty, there are no per-application scores, no geometric means, and no run-to-run results to report. The average benchmark score is 0, and the percentileVsAllCpus field is 50. Because nearestRivals is empty, there are no rival names, scores, or deltaPct comparisons to cite. The only position metric supplied is the 50th-percentile rank, which places this processor at the midpoint of the database’s CPU ranking.
The specification sheet therefore becomes the main evidence for performance assessment. The processor has 4 cores and 8 threads, with 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 256 KB of L2 cache per core, and 6 MB of shared L3 cache. The dual-channel DDR3 memory interface is rated at 29.9 GB/s. These figures describe a 4-core/8-thread design with a shared on-chip cache and a broad enough memory path for general-purpose desktop work. The absence of benchmark averages means a raw score comparison against other CPUs cannot be generated from the FACT PACK alone.
The 50th-percentile position is the only database-wide signal. It indicates that the Core i7-5750HQ sits in the middle of the performance distribution for all CPUs in the database, rather than at the high or low edge. Without nearestRivals entries, there is no finer-grained comparison available.
Single-Thread vs Multi-Thread Behavior
The clock plan is 2.50 GHz base and 3.40 GHz boost. This gives lightly threaded workloads a clear frequency ceiling of 3.40 GHz, while the 4-core/8-thread layout provides eight logical threads for software that can spread work across cores. Multi-threaded workloads will rely on the combined throughput of all 8 threads; single-threaded workloads will depend more on the 3.40 GHz boost clock and per-core cache.
The cache hierarchy is split between per-core and shared levels. L1 is 64 KB per core, L2 is 256 KB per core, and L3 is 6 MB shared across all cores. This means frequently used per-core data can stay close to each core, while larger shared working sets can be pooled in the 6 MB L3. A workload with one or two active threads will likely be limited by single-core resources: clock speed, L1, and L2. A workload that uses many threads can make use of the shared L3 and the full 8-thread scheduler.
Memory bandwidth is a shared resource. The dual-channel DDR3 bus is rated at 29.9 GB/s, and that bandwidth is available to the whole processor. Multi-threaded workloads are more likely than single-threaded ones to push against this limit, because parallel threads can generate concurrent memory requests. The data does not include measured single-thread or multi-thread scores, so the real workload split cannot be quantified, but the structural split is clear: 3.40 GHz for latency-sensitive single-thread work and 8 threads for parallel throughput.
Who Should Consider It
This processor is aimed at the Desktop market segment. Users building or maintaining a system around the Intel BGA 1364 socket may consider it if they need a 47 W TDP processor with 4 cores, 8 threads, and integrated graphics. The integrated GPU is Iris Pro Graphics 6200, which makes the chip usable in systems without a discrete graphics card. ECC memory is not supported, so the processor is not appropriate for workflows that require ECC.
For gaming, the relevant data points are the 3.40 GHz boost clock and the CPU’s PCIe Gen 3 support with 16 lanes from the CPU only. Those lanes can be used to attach a discrete GPU, while the boost clock covers the lightly threaded portions of game workloads. There are no game benchmarks in the data pack, so this is a specification-based observation rather than a measured result.
For creation workloads, the 8-thread configuration and 6 MB shared L3 are the main assets. Multithreaded rendering, encoding, and batch-processing tasks can schedule across all 8 threads, and the shared L3 provides a common pool for shared data. The 29.9 GB/s dual-channel DDR3 memory interface supports that parallel workload pattern, though the data pack does not include a creation-application benchmark score.
For office and general desktop use, the combination of 4 cores, 8 threads, integrated Iris Pro Graphics 6200, and 47 W TDP is a complete package. The processor can handle the mix of background threads, browser, office documents, and light graphics that typical desktop use involves. The production status is End-of-life, so the chip is not a new-production option; the relevant scenario is an existing BGA 1364 system or a buyer seeking this exact end-of-life SKU.

Power and Thermals
The TDP is 47 W, which defines the thermal design envelope for this processor. The data pack does not include a measured power consumption value or a measured temperature figure, so no load-test thermal numbers are available. The only physical specification supplied are the 14 nm process node and the 182 mm² die size. Those factors contribute to the overall thermal profile of the chip, but the data pack does not quantify their effect.
The integrated Iris Pro Graphics 6200 is part of the processor, but its separate power draw is not listed. A system cooling solution for this SKU must handle a 47 W TDP class processor. No further cooling guidance is present in the data pack. Because the production status is End-of-life, thermal management details are limited to the original 47 W design point.
Platform and Compatibility
The processor is built for the Intel BGA 1364 socket. Memory support is DDR3 with a dual-channel interface, and the memory bandwidth is 29.9 GB/s. ECC memory is not supported. PCIe support is Gen 3 with 16 lanes available from the CPU only. The integrated graphics solution is Iris Pro Graphics 6200. The market segment is Desktop.
The production status is End-of-life, and the release date is 2015-06-01. The part number is SR2BL. The multiplier is locked, so the CPU multiplier cannot be changed to increase frequency. The data pack does not list compatible chipset models, motherboard families, or a successor part, so upgrade-path statements are limited to the socket, memory, PCIe, and production-status facts available here.
How It Compares
The comparison data is empty. The nearestRivals field contains no entries, so there are no rival names, scores, or deltaPct values to report. The only comparative metric supplied is percentileVsAllCpus: 50. This places the Core i7-5750HQ at the 50th percentile in the database-wide CPU ranking. There are no rival paragraphs to write because the FACT PACK defines zero nearest rivals. Any relative performance claim beyond the 50th-percentile position would require benchmark or rival data that the pack does not contain.
