What the Core i7-5700HQ is
The Core i7-5700HQ is the mainstream eight thread Broadwell-H laptop chip on BGA 1364. Intel set four cores and eight threads at 2.7 GHz base with turbo to 3.5 GHz. Six megabytes of cache plus eDRAM cover gaming and creation in 15 inch bodies. Power is 47 W on 14 nm from June 2015.
Balanced clocks suit gaming laptops with a discrete card. The CPU feeds the GPU without excess heat, while eight threads handle streaming and background tasks. The chip solders to the board with shared heat pipes for CPU and GPU. No unlocked claim is recorded.
Iris Pro Graphics 6200 from 300 MHz to 1050 MHz covers the desktop when discrete graphics sleep. DDR3L-1600 and 1866 over two channels feed the system. Buyers meet it in mid range gaming notebooks where a quad i7 must fit a 47 W budget.
Socket and motherboard compatibility
The 5700HQ solders to BGA 1364 with gaming laptop cooling for 47 W. No socket and no later swap exist. Shoppers pick GPU level, display refresh and SSD size at purchase. Storage and Wi-Fi are the usual later changes.
Mobile chipsets pair with H parts. The LGA, PGA and BGA: CPU package types explained guide explains soldered tradeoffs. Review thermal tests, since shared pipes make GPU heat affect CPU turbo.
Memory, PCIe and cooling
DDR3L-1600 and 1866 and LPDDR3 to 32 GB over two channels suit gaming laptops. Paired modules feed both CPU and integrated graphics. Sixteen gigabytes covers games with voice and browsers. The eDRAM helps integrated play where discrete graphics sleep.
PCIe 3.0 with 16 lanes from the CPU feeds a discrete GPU and NVMe SSD. Gaming designs wire eight lanes to graphics with the rest to storage. A Gen3 SSD cuts load times more than small clock gaps.
Cooling is dual fan shared designs for CPU plus GPU with no boxed cooler. Fan curves decide noise under load. Cooling stands help long sessions in warm rooms.
Upgrade paths
No CPU upgrade exists on soldered boards. Shoppers compare the Intel Core i7-5750HQ at 2.5 GHz to 3.4 GHz nearby with the Intel Core i7-5850HQ at 2.7 GHz to 3.6 GHz above. All share BGA-1364, so turbo and price decide.
