Intel Launches Core i7-3632QM Processor

News
By published

Intel has quietly added a new mobile processor to its i7 series lineup to bolster its offering for notebooks in the $900 to $1000 range.

The i7-3632QM processor is not listed in Intel's official price list, but is shown as a "launched" product in its processor database.

Pricing has not been revealed at this point, but since we know that the 3630QM and 3632QM are positioned to replace the 3610QM and 3612QM, we expect them to stay to the tray prices of their predecessors, which currently is $378 and $378.

    Darn. Was hoping for a desktop CPU. Didn't read much, but this 35w increase will help with batteries! Good job Intel. Hey, at least one company is "innovating".

    It would be nice if the $1000 mobile CPUs also supported some OCing. I understand that laptops shouldn't be OC'ed, but you'd think a laptop with a $1000 CPU would have more than enough cooling for light OCing (no voltage adjustments).

    Or at least give undervolting options.

    Actually I'm pretty sure that the one $1000 mobile CPU that Intel sells (I believe the i7-3920XM) does support mild overclocking.

    Wow a 35w quad core mobile chip, finally! I guess at the 14nm Haswell shrink they'll be able to get clockspeed close to 3GHZ continuous at that TDP and by that time we'll see 6-core laptop chips.

    this is impressive. It reminds me of when quad cores start going down to 95w's without losing clock performance.

    When was the last time did one SKU get a headline? Most SKUs get a silent launch. It's no big deal, especially if it's just a lower-binned (and unsurprisingly, lower TDP) part. Must be a slow day at Tom's.

    If only I could get a 35w TDP Quad or Hexa AM3+ CPU with improved single threaded performance.
