Intel Core 2nd Generation · Sandy Bridge
A Sandy Bridge i7 with two cores and four threads on a 32nm process, the 2620M reached 2.7–3.4GHz within a 35W envelope — a premium mainstream chip for its generation despite the modest core count by later standards.
Intel's turbo boost technology was still relatively new at this point, and the 2620M made good use of it to punch above its core count in lightly-threaded tasks.
Up to 3.4 GHz boost clock.
Supported memory generations. Soldered (LPDDR) or upgradeable depends on the laptop.
