No idea, but the box says i7-3610QM w/Turbo Boost. |
It's the same as mine, an Ivy bridge i7. That Turbo Boost technology is unreliable when it comes to heavy gaming, since the processor is always throttling and slowing down, giving you inconstant FPSs. Throttlestop keeps your processor at a constant clock frequency by adjusting the clock multiplier (for example, I keep mine at a constant 2,8 Ghz while gaming).
Of course, keeping the processor at constant speeds will increase it's temperature rapidly, so it's pretty advisable to have a refrigerating base to avoid overheating.
