Intel · Core i7 · 2012 · FCPGA988
The Intel Core i7-3610QM is a mobile (laptop) processor with 4 cores, released in 2012. It is part of the Core i7 lineup, using the 3rd Gen platform, and uses the FCPGA988 package, which fits a socket on the laptop's motherboard rather than being soldered. Internally, it is built on the "Ivy Bridge-M" architecture. Thanks to Intel Hyper-Threading, each core can handle two instruction streams simultaneously, yielding a total of 8 threads for improved parallelism. The Core i7-3610QM has a base clock of 2.3 GHz and can boost up to 3.3 GHz depending on workload and thermal headroom. Intel manufactures the "Ivy Bridge-M" silicon on a 22 nm process node. This processor supports DDR3/DDR3L memory. With a base TDP of 45W the Core i7-3610QM is a higher power envelope aimed at performance, gaming and workstation laptops. Integrated graphics are provided by the HD Graphics 4000 solution, so a discrete GPU is not required for display output. The cache hierarchy includes 6MB of L3 cache.
