TomA Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Hi Which of these two i7 processors is the best for 3d viz work?... - 2.6 ghz - 2.2 ghz with turbo boost up to 3.1 ghz Thanks Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJLynn Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Give the model numbers. GHz and turbo boost are only two factors - there's also desktop vs. mobile, number of cores and generation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomA Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 They are both identical apart from that - quad core for laptop, 2nd generation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJLynn Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Without knowing the exact models (i7-2670QM etc.) I can't tell you anything specific, but if they're from the same generation and line they both have turbo boost - so the difference would be that one vendor advertised the feature and the other didn't.

TomA Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 They are both i7-2670QM, so I guess you have answered my question. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJLynn Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 The 2670 is 2.2GHz. Turbo can max out at 2.8GHz in multithreaded processing or 3.1GHz in single thread, under ideal conditions. I don't know where the 2.6 came from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
