What People Are Saying Give it to me straight
Socket Type
by MPIXAPP (Nov, 2011)No problems what so ever in games but it's my GPU bottlenecking it ( GT 525M).
by mcgrath678 (Jan, 2013)this 200 Mhz increase is only a 7-10% increase in speed.
by mcgrath678 (Jan, 2013)In this case removing the 45 Watts of heat generated by this 2630QM.
Type of CPU
by Sakumo (Nov, 2011)Oblivion, etc. the frame rates are much, much higher than most would expect from a laptop.
by MPIXAPP (Nov, 2011)This is OEM processor if you don't know and it's found in High-end laptops.
by mcgrath678 (Jan, 2013)so it will be the last component that I will need to upgrade in my laptop in the coming years.
Socket
by mcgrath678 (Jan, 2013)you can buy an SSD for less than 130 dollars and get a 400% speed increase in read / write speeds , and no more seek time,latency or waiting a few seconds for your drive to spool up after going to sleep.
by mcgrath678 (Jan, 2013)I am able to open 10 or 20 programs at a time while doing large drive transfers and the CPU just keeps on truckin.
by mcgrath678 (Jan, 2013)this mobile processor runs faster than all but a few AMD desktop processors that use 125 Watts, and it does it while using just 45 watts.
Laptop
by mcgrath678 (Jan, 2013)What is more impressive is that this processor is at the slow end of the Sandy bridge mobile processor list.
by mcgrath678 (Jan, 2013)my laptop never gets hot , not even running CPU or GPU stress tests.
Applications
by Sakumo (Nov, 2011)Not only does it perform well in games, it also performs well out of games.
by Sakumo (Nov, 2011)Whether it's from rendering, gaming, or just web browsing, this CPU has a very high performance/price ratio(if it could be bought retail).
