The latest release from Intel Corporation includes the Intel Core i7-2675QM CPU processor for laptop computers. This fast response Intel Core i7-2675QM quad core processor has Thermal Design Power of 45 Watt and is still based on the Sandy Bridge architecture.
Also, the Intel Core i7-2675QM quad core processor offers higher base and turbo frequencies by 200MHz compared to the older Core i7 in its class and offers HyperThreading technology in order to handle 8 threads at once thus speeding the processing by up to 20%.
Moreover, this Intel Core i7-2675QM quad core processor has an integrated graphics controller called Intel HD Graphics 3000 which is capable of rendering movies and playing low resolution games with ease. This integrated graphic card is fabricated also using the 32nm technology and shares the level 3 cache with the CPU cores. The integrated graphics controller in the core i7-2675QM is clocked from 650 to 1300MHz because of the TurboBoost.
Lastly, This powerful Intel quad core comes with an enhanced dual-channel DDR3 memory controller is also incorporated on the CPU die which is used by the CPU and GPU part. This processor also offers Level 1 Cache of 256 KB, Level 2 Cache of 1024 KB, Level 3 Cache of 6144 KB. This Intel Core i7-2675QM quad core processor PassMark rating of 6128 points.
Under the Hood of the Latest Laptop Ultraportables
If we consider the latest ultraportable laptops or pc then most of the time the most dominant processor chips included under the hood would come from Intel corporation. These latest Core mobile CPUs from Intel, always have the ultraportables and hybrid designs under consideration.
The latest releases from Intel's Core mobile CPUs offers improved graphics processing and on top of that still stretch battery life. These latest processors, identifiable by model numbers in the 8000s, 9000s, and 10000s (one example is Core i7-8550U), also feature more cores than their predecessors.
Nowadays, you will already get true quad-core CPU in your Core i5 laptop, with more power than an older dual-core. Dual-core chips live on, though, in the form of the cheaper Intel Pentium and Celeron CPUs that mostly power Chromebooks and entry-level laptops.
Moreover, the AMD's own line of processors also offers enhanced performance at low prices, but it can't match the efficiency gains of Intel's latest chips. Also, you'll see the latest Mobile Ryzen chips in some budget and midrange machines, along with a select few models featuring AMD's Mobile Ryzen plus Vega graphics.
Lastly, whether you decide to go with Intel or AMD, you would always get an integrated graphics subsystem adequate for graphics tasks, unless you're a part-time gamer or a CAD user. High-end discrete graphics-processing units are terrific for 3D games, transcoding 1080p video, or watching 4K movies, but like fast processors, they also feast on laptop batteries.

Pandora Offers Unlimited Radio Listening Per Monthly $ubscription
Very recently, iTunes Radio announced its launch date in a matter of few weeks time. Now, music streaming mainstay Pandora is looking to ensure that listeners don’t hit “stop” on its services.
Moreover, this online radio company has eliminated its 40-hour free listening limit on mobile devices, just months after first introducing the cap on music time.
Furthermore, according to an earnings call transcribed by TechCrunch, Pandora CFO Mike Herring noted that the company’s growth in advertising revenue has allowed them to cover royalty costs without charging customers for extended listening. Herring stated that Pandora gained “critical insights” since the company implemented the limit in February 2013, and that the group has found other means of monetization.
This move to eliminate Pandora’s listening limit is a good choice and also comes at a convenient time for the company, as Apple will be launching iTunes Radio with iOS 7 in September. Like Pandora, iTunes Radio will be an internet-based service that plays songs based on user preferences.
The software will be compatible with Siri and iPhone users’ existing music libraries, so listeners can start a station based on a spoken request or a song already on their device. iTunes Radio is fully synced with the cloud, allowing users to start a station on their iPhone and continue listening to it on their MacBook. The free service will be ad-supported, while those who subscribe to the $25 per year, cloud-based iTunes Match will enjoy an ad-free experience. Pandora’s similar “Pandora One” subscription costs $36.
