14 DAY TRIAL // Since the original introduction of Sandy Bridge in January of this year, Intel has expanded its product portfolio to include quite a large number of CPUs based on this architecture and the chip giant is now preparing two new such models, the Core i5-2435M and i7-2675QM.
The two processors were spotted by the CPU-World website which also managed to dig out some detailed information about them.
Both of these chips are quite old acquaintances of ours as we first reported about these CPUs in August of this year when the processors were referenced in the footnotes of Intel's ARK database.
Now however we have more details to share about these CPUs, the fastest of which being the Core i7-2675QM.
Intel has designed this chip to include four processing cores, that are clocked at 2.2GHz (3.1GHz Turbo Boost), 6MB of Level 3 cache memory and it also features support for the company's Hyper-Threading technology.
The CPU integrated HD 3000 graphics core is clocked at 650 MHz and can go all the way up to 1.2GHz when maximum performance is needed.
The second mobile Sandy Bridge processor to be released by Intel, the Core i5-2435M, is designed to be used in more mainstream notebooks that don't require the performance of a quad-core chip.
Unlike its older brother, the Core i5-2435M includes “only” two processing cores with Hyper-Threading support, but these are now clocked at 2.4GHz with a maximum Turbo Boost clock of 3GHz.
The cores are accompanied by 3MB of shared L3 cache and by an integrated HD 3000 GPU with a base clock of 650MHz and a maximum Turbo speed of 1.3GHz.
Intel hasn't revealed the pricing of any of these two mobile processors, which was to be expected as they will only be sold to OEMs and ODMs.
