Intel Core i7-3632QM Launched Standing

Intel rolled out huge amount of mobile microprocessors throughout their fall line-up revives. Generally they released 15 new Celeron, Pentium and Core i3 and Core i7 SKUs. There were also quite a few processors, that we expected to see this fall, but they certainly not formally launched. One of these CPUs was Core i7-3632QM, a quad-core mobile processor, competent of executing 8 threads at once. We said "was" since this week the 3632QM was added to Intel's product database, and at present has the "launched" standing.

Core i7-3632QM is a speed bump of i7-3612QM, established back in April. The 3612QM had 2.1 GHz base clock that possibly will be raised as high as 3.1 GHz when only one core was functioning. The i7-3632QM bumps those frequencies by 100 MHz, to 2.2 GHz base and 3.2 GHz utmost Turbo frequencies. The rest of the i7-3632QM characteristics are identical to the 3612QM. The CPU has 4 cores, 6 MB level 3 cache, and maintain Hyper-Threading and Turbo Boost technologies, as well as AVX and AES instruction set extensions. Similar to other Core i7s, the 3632QM incorporate HD 4000 graphics unit. The GPU on this chip is clocked at 650 MHz, and up to 1.15 GHz when required. Similar to 3612QM, there are BGA and PGA variations of Core i7-3632QM microprocessor. The BGA version, moreover different type of package, adds support of VT-d virtualization. The distinctive quality of both versions is low 35 Watt Thermal Design Power. Mainly, other quad-core Core i7s at this time have 45 Watt or higher TDP.
