Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The Intel Core i7-3920XM, a processor from the Ivy Bridge H architecture, was a remarkable choice at its launch. Manufactured in the modern 22-nanometer process, it offered considerable performance for mobile systems at the time. As an Extreme model, this chip was specifically designed for demanding tasks and intense gaming.

This made it particularly popular among users who needed high computing power. An integrated Intel HD Graphics 4000 also provided solid everyday graphics performance. Many typical applications still ran surprisingly smoothly, which underscored its versatility. With its 8 MB Level 3 cache, it could efficiently manage data and provide it quickly.

The maximum memory bandwidth reached 21 GB/s, a good value for the time. The Intel Core i7-3920XM is still a testament to Intel's engineering prowess back then. It impressively demonstrates the performance that could already be packed into a laptop at that time.
  • Ideal for gaming and demanding applications
  • Based on the Ivy Bridge H architecture
  • Features integrated Intel HD Graphics 4000
  • Manufactured in the 22-nanometer process
