Intel Core i7-2677M

The Intel Core i7-2677M is a dual-core, four-thread mobile processor from Intel's second-generation Core lineup, built on the 32 nm Sandy Bridge microarchitecture and launched around mid-2011. As an ultra-low-voltage (ULV) chip, it runs at a 1.8 GHz base clock with Intel Turbo Boost 2.0 raising a single core up to 2.9 GHz, backed by 512 KB of L2 cache and 4 MB of shared L3 cache, all within a 17 W thermal envelope. It integrates Intel HD Graphics 3000, clocked from 350 MHz up to 1.2 GHz, and supports dual-channel DDR3 memory at up to 1333 MHz for a maximum of 8 GB. Housed in an FCBGA1023 package, the i7-2677M was designed for thin-and-light Ultrabooks and ultraportable laptops of its era, appearing in notable models such as the ASUS ZenBook UX21E and UX31E, the Lenovo IdeaPad U300s, the Toshiba Portege Z830, and the HP Envy 14 Spectre. Its combination of low power draw and Hyper-Threaded dual-core performance made it one of the defining processors of the first wave of Intel Ultrabooks.
