CPU Comparison

Intel Core i7-2675QM vs Core i7-2860QM (BGA)

A side-by-side comparison of specs, performance and value. The Intel Core i7-2675QM is a BGA-packaged mobile processor released in late 2011 as a soldered alternative to the 2670QM. Based on the Sandy Bridge architecture, it features four cores and eight threads, delivering robust multitasking capabilities. Operating at a 2.2 GHz base clock with a 3.1 GHz turbo boost, it offered the same performance as the 2670QM but was permanently attached to the motherboard via BGA 1224. The 32nm chip integrated 1,160 million transistors and a 6MB L3 cache. With a 45W TDP, it was designed for performance-oriented laptops where space was constrained. It included Intel HD 3000 integrated graphics for everyday multimedia. While locked for overclocking, the i7-2675QM supported AVX and AES-NI, making it a highly capable and durable solution for portable systems requiring robust computational power without the need for future upgrades.
