Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
At the time of its introduction, the Intel Core i7-3612QE was a notable mobile processor. It was based on the then state-of-the-art Ivy Bridge H architecture. This was manufactured using an efficient 22-nanometer process, which ensured a good balance. As a result, the processor achieved a balanced mix of processing power and remarkable energy efficiency.

We found it to be a highly reliable component for various applications. A clear advantage was the integrated Intel HD Graphics 4000 unit. This enabled very smooth playback of media content of all kinds. Everyday graphics applications were also handled smoothly and executed fluidly. With its generous 6 MB Level 3 cache, the Intel Core i7-3612QE could always ensure fast data processing.

This contributed significantly to a responsive system performance. Even today, this processor can still be found in some specialized systems. There, it continues to provide good service to its users. Its classification in the upper performance class at the time pays off to this day. It continues to offer a solid foundation for certain older workloads and devices.

This is a testament to its quality at the time and the overall robust construction.
  • Efficient Ivy Bridge H Architecture
  • Manufactured in 22-nanometer process
  • Integrated Intel HD Graphics 4000 for Multimedia
  • 6 MB Level-3 Cache for responsive performance
