Benchmarks: CPU

The Core i7-7700HQ is one of the best mobile CPUs in Intel's latest-generation Kaby Lake stable, offering four cores, eight threads and speeds of up to 3.8GHz in a 45W package.

The single-thread PiFast and multi-thread Cinebench results are among the best, but what's happened in HandBrake? Closer examination reveals that this demanding test causes the Legion Y520 to throttle CPU performance, with our logs revealing that the Core i7 chip was reduced to 2.7GHz for large parts of the benchmark.
