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.
