Core i7-6970HQ is a 64-bit quad-core x86 high-end performance mobile microprocessor introduced by Intel in early 2016. The i7-6970HQ, which is based on the Skylake microarchitecture and is fabricated on a 14 nm process, has a base frequency of 2.8 GHz and a turbo boost frequency of up to 3.7 GHz with a TDP of 45 W and a configurable TDP-down of 35 W. This processor incorporates the Iris Pro Graphics 580 integrated graphics operating at 350 MHz with a turbo frequency of 1.05 GHz and incorporating 128 MiB of eDRAM on-package. This model supports 64 GiB of dual-channel DDR4-2133 memory.

Cache

Main article: Skylake § Cache

[Edit/Modify Cache Info]

Cache Organization Cache is a hardware component containing a relatively small and extremely fast memory designed to speed up the performance of a CPU by preparing ahead of time the data it needs to read from a relatively slower medium such as main memory. The organization and amount of cache can have a large impact on the performance, power consumption, die size, and consequently cost of the IC. Cache is specified by its size, number of sets, associativity, block size, sub-block size, and fetch and write-back policies. Note: All units are in kibibytes and mebibytes.
