Intel · Core i7 · 2012 · FCBGA1023
The Intel Core i7-3667U is a mobile (laptop) processor with 2 cores, released in 2012. It is part of the Core i7 lineup, using the 3rd Gen platform, and uses the FCBGA1023 package, which is soldered to the laptop's motherboard rather than socketed. Internally, it is built on the "Ivy Bridge-U" architecture. Thanks to Intel Hyper-Threading, each core can handle two instruction streams simultaneously, yielding a total of 4 threads for improved parallelism. The Core i7-3667U has a base clock of 2 GHz and can boost up to 3.2 GHz depending on workload and thermal headroom. Intel manufactures the "Ivy Bridge-U" silicon on a 22 nm process node. This processor supports DDR3/DDR3L memory. With a base TDP of 17W the Core i7-3667U is a balanced power envelope suited to mainstream 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 4MB of L3 cache.
