Intel Core 1st Generation · Nehalem
An early quad-core mobile chip from Intel's Nehalem generation, the 720QM ran at just 1.6–2.8GHz within a 45W envelope, built on a 45nm process.
Quad-core mobile chips were still uncommon at this point, and the 720QM traded clock speed for thread count in a way that favored heavily multi-threaded workloads over single-core snappiness.
Up to 2.8 GHz boost clock.
Supported memory generations. Soldered (LPDDR) or upgradeable depends on the laptop.
