About Hardware AMD C-60
Released in 2011, the AMD C-60 is a power-efficient processor that belongs to the Ontario series based on the Bobcat architecture. With 2 cores and 2 threads, and a base clock speed of 1.0 GHz (can increase to 1.33 GHz with Turbo Core), this CPU is targeted at netbooks and portable devices with low power requirements.
The C-60 has a TDP of only 9W, making it suitable for ultra-portable laptops that prioritize battery life. The processor also comes with an AMD Radeon HD 6290 integrated GPU, which has 80 shader cores and supports DirectX 11, providing basic graphics performance for video playback and light gaming.
However, the C-60's performance is limited to light tasks such as browsing and office applications. Its low clock speed and power-saving architecture make it less suitable for heavy multitasking or applications that require high computing power.

About Hardware Intel Core i7 720QM
Released in 2009 as part of the Clarksfield (Nehalem) architecture, the Intel Core i7-720QM is a high-end mobile processor aimed at gaming laptops and workstations. It has 4 cores and 8 threads, with a base clock speed of 1.6 GHz, which can increase to 2.8 GHz using Intel Turbo Boost.
With 45nm fabrication, this processor has a TDP of 45W, which is quite high for laptop standards. Because it uses Hyper-Threading, it can handle eight threads simultaneously, improving performance in multi-threaded applications such as video rendering and editing.
In terms of graphics, the i7-720QM does not have an integrated GPU, so laptops using it must have a discrete graphics card for display output.
Compared to modern processors, the i7-720QM's performance is quite behind, especially in power efficiency. However, for legacy systems still using this processor, its performance is still sufficient for basic tasks and some heavy applications with proper optimization.
