Unannounced Intel Core CPUs Show Up in HP Envy
Well, well, well, what do we have here?
Intel just last week confirmed its Core i3 and i5 ULV chips but so far, there's been nothing said about some supposedly new chips that are debuting in the HP Envy. Engadget reports that the folks over at HPfansite.com have uncovered references to three new standard-voltage Core 2010 chips in the service manuals for the Envy 15 and 17.
As you can see from the screen capture above, the i7 840QM appears to be Intel's new high-end quad core, boasting a clock speed of 1.86GHz clock that boosts to 3.20GHz and 8MB of L3 cache. Next is the i7 740QM with clock speeds of 1.73GHz, turbo boosting to 2.93 GHz and a 6MB L3 cache. Lastly we've got the i5 450M which looks identical to the current i5-520M with 2.4GHz / 2.93 GHz and 3MB of L3.
While Intel has yet to comment on this little piece of news, the Envy 17 is set for a May 26 retail launch so it could only be a matter of weeks before we find out. Then again, the mention of the 15 could mean these will be saved for revised models. Stay tuned, we'll let you know when we find out more!

since when is there an HPfansite.com seriously...ever since they stopped making calculators their computers went downhill.

Goodness....
Had to go look and see what the HP Envy was.
I'm not sure if I want the HP Envy, the new Macbook Pro, the Sony Z series or the new 13" Toshiba that's supposed to come out soon.
Just had a glance at that HP Envy. Whoever designed it seems to be pretty envious of the macbook pro, cuz especially when its open, it looks very similar
I wanna go to heaven, please ...
Those Core i7 mobile processors are awesome!!!
These Envy'es are freaking expensive!!!

Q840m with SC turbo upto 3.20mhz!?!
The HP Envy series used to be the Voodoo PC Envy series. HP bought the company a few years back and made the Envy series their own...
Q840m with SC turbo upto 3.20mhz!?!
...
How many years of being constantly bombarded with advertisements saying GHz does it take the public to realize the difference?
HP laptops are junk the only "envy" i have when looking at it is the Envy to buy an Asus laptop. So many trouble with HP
Just a minute... HP!??! Have a *Fansite*!?!?!!
These Envy'es are freaking expensive!!!
Or you can order an equivalently specced Mac for 3 times the price!

no you can't because there isn't an equivalently specced Mac for any price
If I'm going to spend that much on a laptop I'd rather have a Macbook Pro simply because of the battery life. I can still run Windows.

Yes, but duh, as soon as you run Windows you lose the battery life. C'mon, your comments are making Apple fans look ignorant, and they need little help in that department!
The i5-450 has the same clocks, turbo, and cache as the i5-520 but it will be missing a few instructions such as AES-NI, VT-d, and one other that i can't remember
