This CPU is perfect to boost CPU performance on laptops with PGA 988 sockets up to 3.4 GHz. It used to be the top CPU in that Intel i7 family, but at the time was crunching a $1000 hole in your pocket, now you can buy it for much less. Since it has no aluminum cap, it fits to the same cooler assemblies as the widely installed Intel i7 Q720M, i7-620M, Core i5-520M, i5-540M and allows an operating temperature of 100°C which of course is not desirable for a long time usage. To control the CPU parameters I recommend ThrottleStop from TechPowerUp.

This processor is one of my favorites for the 1st generation i7 chipsets. Works extremely well and I have had no problems since I gotten it. Pros: Is unlocked Runs @ 2ghz (3.2ghz turbo) 8 mb cache & 4 cores Better performance per dollar (compared to 940xm) Cons: 55w Gets hot fast (compared to a i7 840qm and below) I personally love this CPU it is by far my favorite 1st generation i7 cpu. Its less expensive then the 940xm with similar performance, but does more then a 840qm. The only thing you have to make sure with the XM series i7's is that they are properly cooled and that they have enough power and you should be good. Love it :D

This processor is blazing fast. The key thing to remember though is that it is a 55 watt processor. An average laptop won't have the cooling to properly cool this processor. When properly cooled and coupled with at least 4 gigs of ram, it flies. With a program called throttle-stop you can increase the TDP of the processor to allow you to overclock it much higher as well. I have it running at 3.4 ghz on all cores when I run intensive applications. This is speed on par or exceeding most desktop i7s. It outperforms them in benchmarks as well. For me, for a mobile processor that outperforms most desktop processors, it's totally worth the cost. In addition, when overclocked it's also faster than the new sandy bridge i7s. The only downside is the power consumption and heat. When overclocked to 3.4, with the TDP at 90, you can easily see temps of 90 even on a big laptop with good cooling.Vollständige Rezension lesen
Even if this processor is ES, I cannot believe the performance and excellent standard idle temperature. It is at 40 degrees Celsius in idle mode. My i7 720QM was somewhere between 46-47. And when you need the power, without even overclocking it, BOOM!!! All the clocks 'wake' up and give you full satisfaction. I cannot even compare it with the majority of the desktops built in 2010. Great product! I recommend everyone who has a moderboard supporting it, buy it! It is a good upgrade for your notebook. Shirley was a wonderfull suport to me as well, always responding, following up and even concern until the product reached into my hands. Thank you!
I purchased this for a Vostro all-in-one, and unfortunately (my mistake) this particular CPU does not include built-in video. Booted fine, but no picture! I am unable to use it in my particular case.
