Core i7-3610QM 4-Core 2.3GHz Review
Core i7-3610QM 4-Core 2.3GHz is a high-end CPU part of the Core i7 Series released by Intel between 2009 and 2012,
It's based on the Ivy Bridge architecture and therefore features integrated graphics called Intel HD Graphics 4000 and it's manufactured with 22 nm. Previous Sandy Bridge features are also present, such as Turbo Boost and Hyper Threading.
It's built with 4 cores and each core features 2 threads, making a total of 8.
The performance it delivers is exceptionally good, considering it's a laptop CPU and enough to play even the most demanding games, such as Max Payne 3 or Metro 2033 at the highest settings, paired with the appropriate GPU, obviously.

Jes is just a tool that show you when or how turbo booost works. Your pc dont work nothing but when you open a program it speads a lot and get you a spead. I am a Gamer and i play realy heavy games like BF3, Metro 2033, Alan Wake, Crysis 2, MW3,.... and i never use more then 65% of CPu while gaming so....great cpu. If you have chance buy i5 and ssd instead becouse you nead a fast disk (HDD) if you want to use CPU to maximum

It is irritating that so many laptops which use this cpu have only gt630m or hd7670 as gpu and making it so unbalanced.

The database says my processor is 3% less powerful than this processor. Is that true?? because when comparing this to mine, my one has an extra 1.1 GHz over this processor while the L1, L2, and L3 caches are the same. Someone explain this to me. thanks.

Yes but yours does not features Multi-Threading. Your CPU has 4 cores and 4 threads, while this one has 4 Cores and 8 Threads. Overall, this CPU is more powerful but within certain situations (and games), yours wins :)

Got my notebook with this cpu as a gift from my mother (€700 in July), brought it from Spain (I'm from Argentina). It's an awesome notebook, all the specs are great but the GPU. I really hate my gpu. I mean, it's very unbalanced in comparisson with the rest of the machine. The cpu is flawless and it's great for heavy multitasking without piety. (Sorry if my english is a little rusty).

when bought you shouldn't focus on cpu but on gpu. on laptops the gpu canot be changed while cpu can. with a lower cpu around €700-900 you could buy an average gpu like gtx630 or 640... now just put your settings lower to have an good fps ratio

I have an i7-3610QM, and it says its 7% worse than the same processor.

it's handled automatically, without notice;
best thing is that cpu frequency is changed dynamically to get best performance without overheating

I use this processor in my gaming LAPTOP. Yes, laptop. And I can run awesome games like DayZ, Minecraft, and Skyrim at a decent FPS, ranging anywhere from 40-70. It may not be as much as a PC could do, but it is a HUGE difference from my old i3 laptop, in which couldn't run tetris if it tried.
