Intel Core i7-2720QM processor SR014
Used mobile quad-core Intel Core i7-2720QM processor (Socket G2 / rPGA988B, up to 3.3 GHz) with HD 3000 graphics. High performance upgrade for ThinkPad, Dell, or HP laptops.
Intel Core i7-2720QM Mobile Processor (Socket G2 / rPGA988B) – Powerful Quad-Core Sandy Bridge Performance
Are you looking for a significant performance boost for your laptop, or do you need a reliable replacement part for a mobile workstation? The mobile quad-core Intel Core i7-2720QM processor from the highly successful and reliable Sandy Bridge generation offers the excellent power of **4 physical cores and 8 threads**. It is designed for demanding tasks such as programming, database management, virtual machine execution, video editing, and advanced multitasking.
Thanks to its advanced architecture and intelligent Turbo Boost technology, the processor dynamically accelerates under heavy workloads, breathing new life into older portable computers and saving you the cost of purchasing a brand-new, expensive device.
Key Features of the Intel Core i7-2720QM Processor
- 4 physical cores and 8 threads with Intel Hyper-Threading technology for elite parallel performance.
- Base clock of 2.20 GHz with Intel Turbo Boost 2.0, automatically overclocking the core up to 3.30 GHz under load.
- Generous 6 MB Intel Smart Cache for fast access to data and smooth application performance.
- Integrated Intel HD Graphics 3000 core for reliable Full HD video acceleration and everyday multimedia tasks.
- Designed for widely adopted laptop motherboards with Socket G2 (rPGA988B).
Uncompromised Multitasking with 8 Threads
The Intel Core i7-2720QM is a fully-fledged Quad-Core processor. Featuring Hyper-Threading technology, it handles up to 8 computing threads simultaneously. Combined with the massive 6MB cache, your laptop will run smoothly even with multiple demanding applications open at once – allowing you to compile code, keep virtual machines running, and download data in the background without any performance drops.
Intel HD Graphics 3000 Integrated Core
The energy-efficient Intel HD Graphics 3000 chip integrated directly onto the processor die ensures smooth rendering of the operating system, hardware acceleration in web browsers, and seamless online video playback in high Full HD resolution (YouTube, Netflix). The main advantage of this integrated solution is its high reliability and low idle power consumption.
Compatibility and Cooling Requirements
This processor is designed for laptops with motherboards featuring a **removable Socket G2 (rPGA988B)** and Intel 6-series chipsets (such as HM65, HM67, QM67). Because it is a powerful quad-core model, its thermal design power is **45 W** (standard dual-cores are 35 W). Therefore, it is critical to ensure that your laptop's cooling system is built to handle this thermal output.
It represents an ideal upgrade for high-performance and enterprise laptops, such as:
- Lenovo ThinkPad T520, W520, L520
- Dell Latitude E6520, E5520 / Precision M4600 / Inspiron 5110
- HP EliteBook 8560p, 8560w / HP ProBook 4530s, 4730s, 6560b
