Intel Core i7-2670QM

The Intel Core i7-2670QM is a quad-core mobile processor from Intel's second-generation Core i7 family, built on the 32 nm Sandy Bridge microarchitecture and launched in late 2011. It combines four Hyper-Threaded cores running at a 2.20 GHz base clock with Turbo Boost 2.0 speeds of up to 3.10 GHz, backed by 6 MB of shared L3 cache and 1 MB of total L2 cache. The chip integrates Intel HD Graphics 3000, clocked between 650 MHz and 1.10 GHz, and supports dual-channel DDR3-1066/1333 memory up to 32 GB. With a 45 W thermal design power and Socket G2 (rPGA988B) packaging, it was aimed at performance laptops and mobile workstations of its era, appearing in notebooks such as the Dell XPS 15 (L502x), Lenovo IdeaPad Z570, and Toshiba Satellite P755. It supports AVX, SSE4.1/SSE4.2, and AES-NI, along with Intel VT-x virtualization with Extended Page Tables, reflecting the mainstream high-performance feature set of Intel's Sandy Bridge generation.
