The Intel Core i7-6700HQ is a 2015 mobile processor with four Skylake cores, eight threads, and integrated HD Graphics 530.
The Intel Core i7-6700HQ is a quad-core mobile processor released in September 2015 as part of the Skylake microarchitecture. It features 8 threads via Hyper-Threading, a base clock of 2.60 GHz, and a boost clock of 3.50 GHz. The CPU includes 6 MB of L3 cache and is built on a 14 nm process with a TDP of 45 W. It supports DDR4-2133, LPDDR3-1866, and DDR3L-1600 memory across two channels, but does not support ECC memory. Integrated graphics are provided by Intel HD Graphics 530. The processor has 16 PCIe 3.0 lanes and uses the FCBGA1440 socket. It supports instruction sets including SSE4.1, SSE4.2, and AVX2. The multiplier is locked, preventing overclocking. The i7-6700HQ was discontinued in September 2022.
