Intel Core i7-3687U
Benchmarks & Specs

The Intel Core i7-3687U processor, a product from the era of slim ultrabooks, was specifically designed for mobile devices. It integrates the then-advanced Ivy Bridge U architecture, which was particularly focused on energy efficiency. Manufacturing using the then-state-of-the-art 22nm process contributed significantly to very good energy efficiency.

Even today, this processor is a solid foundation for many everyday office and internet tasks. The integrated Intel HD Graphics 4000 graphics unit supports basic visual applications without any problems. It also enables smooth playback of media content, which is sufficient for entertainment purposes.

With 4 MB Level 3 Cache, the processor offers very good support for data processing for its class. At the time, this ensured a pleasantly responsive user experience. While it is not intended for the current, power-hungry applications, it continues to reliably handle office work, web browsing, and lighter multimedia tasks.

Its true strength was demonstrated in the balanced performance for typical usage scenarios of compact devices at the time. It remains an example of the durability and practical benefit of well-developed computer hardware.
