Intel is using its Developers Forum event this week to introduce plenty of new tech. Today saw the official launch of the company's Clarksfield processors, which bring the Nehalem architecture to laptops. There are three chips, with the Core i7-920XM taking on the mantle of the top of the line mobile chip, which can run as fast as 3.2GHz with Turbo mode enabled (2.0GHz normally). That comes with 8MB of cache, which also features on the Core i7-8200QM (1.73GHz / 3.06GHz Turbo mode). The Core i7-7200QM drops the cache to 6MB and clock speeds to 1.6GHz / 2.8GHz. All support hyper-threading with four physical cores for a total of 8 threads.
The chips should already be popping up in a number of products, with Dell offering the Core i7-7200QM and Core i7-8200QM in its Studio 15, 17 and XPS 16 models. Alienware (also part of the Dell stable) are going that bit further by offering the Extreme edition Core i7-9200XM in its Area-51 M15x laptop. Others are also introducing the new CPUs, such as Toshiba in its X500 Gaming Laptop.
