We'll cut right to the chase: VR-Zone has provided the specifications of the Intel Core i7 M-series Haswell central processing units.

Set to be released in April 2013, there are three central processing units in the series.

All of them have low thermal design power ratings. Thus, they are a good fit for ultrabooks and mainstream notebooks.

The Core i7-4930MX Extreme Edition is the strongest in the list, with four cores (8 threads), 3.0/3.9 GHz clock speeds (base/ Turbo Boost), integrated HD 4600 graphics (400 MHz), 8 MB L3 cache memory and a TDP of 57W. The all-core Turbo Boost performance is 3.7 GHz.

The second processor, Core i7-4900MQ, is similar to the chip above, but has 2.8/3.8 GHz clock speeds (3.6 GHz all-core Turbo) and a TDP of 47W.

Finally, the Core i7-4800MQ runs at 2.7/3.7 GHz (3.5 GHz all-core), has a cache memory of just 6 MB and has a TDP of 47W.
