Intel Core i7 720QM Boxed

Zitat: We´ll admit to laughing when we first heard that Intel´s new Core i7 CPUs were clocked as low as 1.6GHz - the quad-core Core 2 Quad Q9000 isn´t much kop, so we´d feared that the Core i7 720QM would follow suit. After all, most applications at the moment prefer fast dual-core CPUs to slow quad-cores. It´s Turbo Boost that rescues the Core i7 Mobile, allowing the CPU to clock itself up to nearly 3GHz during most of our benchmarking runs. That´s even more impressive considering that frequency increases via Turbo Boost cannot bring the CPU beyond it TDP spec, which is a cool 45W in the case of the Core i7 720QM. The full review of the Kobalt G860 is in the next issue of Custom PC, due out on Thursday 19 November in the UK and will be online soon afterwards. You can read more about the laptop on Kobalt´s website. Let us know your thoughts about Intel´s new CPUs in the forum.
