Intel® Core™ i7-2630QM Turbo question

[6644kp]

The standard clock is 2.0GHz but the Turbo brings it up to 2.9GHz but now question is do all 4 cores go to 2.9Ghz or only 1 core.

 

[6644kp]

i see that is pretty bad

i'm just saying desktops easily have 4 cores run at 3+Ghz that was in like 2008/2009. Laptops still struggle to get 3Ghz 4 core cpu

How often do you need the performance of all 4 cores at full tilt on a laptop?

...never?

When your playing a demanding game such as Crysis or Bad Company 2.

 

[6644kp]

Neither of which will max out 4 cores.

acually bad company 2 uses up to 6 cores and crysis will defentivly benefit from a powerful quad.

plus i agree that gaming laptops are largely irrelevent but for the person who has to move about or just want something he move about the house then a powerful laptop can be quite useful

 

[6644kp]

who would play those games on a laptop anyway? Gaming is possible yes but laptops are generally for non gaming stuff... Internet etc...

Desktop PC's are still the way forward for gaming

...but I digress

the poster right above you does

ofcourse desktops are much better at gaming but to each his own
