Intel Core i7 For Laptops — First Benchmarks
Barence writes "PC Pro has benchmarked the first Intel Core i7 processors for laptops. The chips mark the debut of Intel's Turbo Boost technology, which ramps up the speed of the working cores if two or more cores are sitting unused. For the quad-core i7-820QM, this can take the stock speed of 1.73GHz up to a maximum of 3.06GHz. The 2D benchmarks show comparable performance to Core 2 Extreme chips running at 2.53GHz. Power consumption and processor temperature is dramatically lower, which should lead to significant improvements in laptop battery life."
and Dell and HP laptops which will run half the price of the MBP for the same performance
Why you even have to ask retard?! AMD does not have shit, everybody knows that when you buy AMD you are supporting Arab terrorism. How do you even dare to mention that crap in an intel article, what are you? a reverse astroturfer? Does AMD makes you smarter when you buy that chip? Only nigers and spics use AMD because they can't afford a real chip you Niger
haha you're funny too
If you want battery life *and* a beefy portable desktop replacement, consider an apple laptop.
