Intel Core i5-3210M Computer Technology

The recent Intel Core i5-3210M laptop device features dual core processor base on the new Intel Ivy Bridge architecture with with Intel HD Graphics 4000 technology. It comes with Hyper Threading technology to handle up to four threads at once for enhanced usage of CPU. Each of the two core of this Intel Core i5-3210M processor that runs at the base clock speed of 2.5GHz but because it supports Turbo Boost technology it can dynamically upsurge clock speed up to 2.9 GHz when 2 cores are activated and 3.1 GHz when only one of the cores is activated.

Also, the Intel Core i5-3210M dual core processor is created using the 22 nanometer technology. This processor introduced 3D transistors for better energy efficiency in comparison to Sandy Bridge processors that runs on the same frequency. Some other features of this processor includes integrated PCI Express 3.0 and DDR3(L)-1600 support.

Moreover, this 3rd Generation Intel Core i5-3210M dual core processor has an integrated graphics controller called Intel HD Graphics 4000 that features 16 Execution Units which is clocked at about 650 MHz up to 1200 MHz because of Turbo Boost in the GPU side. This new Integrated GPU is more powerful compared to the GPU found in 2nd Generation Sandy Bridge processor.

Additionally, the Core i5-3210M has 128 KB level cache, 512 KB Level 2 Cache, and 3072 KB Level 3 Cache. It has a Thermal Design Power (TDP) of about 35 Watts which makes it best suited for notebook PCs with large screen size.

Intel Core i7-3630QM Quad-Cire Processor Review

The latest Intel Core i7-3630QM quad-core laptop processor primarily designed top-of-the-line mobile pc devices. This powerful laptop processor is primarily designed using Ivy Bridge architecture that used 22 nanometer technology. This new speedy Intel Core i7-3630QM quad-core processor comes packed with DDR3(L)-1600 Memory Controller, Intel HD Graphics 4000, Hyper-Threading, Turbo Boost, AVX, Quick Sync, Virtualization and more. This runs at the base clock speed of 2.4GHz but can automatically overclock at the rate of 3.2GHz when all of the core are activated; 3.3 GHz when of 2 of the cores are enabled and 3.4GHz when only one of the cores is active. Because of Hyper-Threading technology the four cores of this processor can handle up to eight threads in parallel for better performance.


Furthermore, this Intel Core i7-3630QM features an Intel HD Graphics 4000 which comes with 16 Execution Units and runs at the clock rate of 650 MHz with Turbo Boost up to 1150 MHz. It also comes with 6MB L3 cache; 1MB L2 cache and 256kB L1 cache. It has a Thermal Design Power (TDP) of 45 watts which makes it suitable for laptop PCs with sizes ranging from 14 inches and above.

Moreover, this Intel Core i7-3630QM quad-core processor delivers a PassMark score of 7534. This means that this is as powerful as Intel Core i7-3610QM with a score of 7532 but more powerful than Intel Core i7-3632QM with a rating of 7259; Intel Core i7-3520M with a rating of 4662; Intel Core i7-3517U which is rated 3864; Intel Core i5-3210M with a rating of 3896; but less powerful than Intel Core i7-3720QM with a PassMark score of 8590.
