Core i7-2760QM Details

The Intel Core i7-2760QM stands as a notable mobile processor from the early 2010s, launched in September 2011 as part of Intel's Sandy Bridge M family. At the time, it was designed for high-performance laptops, offering a balance of power and efficiency with its 45 W TDP and 32 nm process node. As of 2026, the Core i7-2760QM is over a decade old, placing it firmly in the realm of legacy hardware, yet its performance in older benchmark suites still provides insight into its capabilities relative to modern processors.

With a base clock of 2.4 GHz and a turbo frequency reaching 3.5 GHz under load, the i7-2760QM delivers strong single-threaded performance for its era. It features four cores and eight threads thanks to Intel's Hyper-Threading technology, along with a substantial 6 MiB L3 cache and 1 MiB of L2 cache. This combination allowed it to excel in multi-threaded applications, particularly in its time, and it remains competitive in certain workloads when compared to some modern low-power CPUs.

The processor supports dual-channel DDR3 memory up to 1600 MHz, with a maximum capacity of 32 GB and a peak memory bandwidth of 23.84 GiB/s. Its integrated Intel HD 3000 graphics, featuring 12 execution units and a base frequency of 650 MHz (boosting to 1.3 GHz), was considered capable for light gaming and multimedia tasks in 2011. While the GPU is now obsolete by today’s standards, it was a significant step forward in integrated graphics at the time.

In benchmark testing, the Core i7-2760QM achieves an overall score of 4732, placing it at #1078 among 2060 CPUs. Its single-core score of 4762 ranks it at #1097, while its multicore score of 4686 places it at #981. These results show that while it is outperformed by nearly all modern processors, it still holds its own against some lower-tier current-generation CPUs, particularly in single-threaded tasks. The performance gap to the top of the list—where the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9995WX scores over 9,000—underscores the dramatic advancements in CPU design over the past decade.

Despite its age, the Core i7-2760QM remains a capable processor for basic computing, light multitasking, and retro gaming. It supports a range of modern features such as AVX, AES-NI, Intel VT-x, and Turbo Boost 2.0, making it a versatile option for users who value longevity and compatibility. For enthusiasts or professionals working with older systems, the i7-2760QM still offers a reliable foundation, though it is no longer suitable for demanding modern applications like 4K video editing or AI workloads.

In summary, the Core i7-2760QM is a relic of a bygone era, but it remains a benchmark of performance and efficiency from the Sandy Bridge generation. As of March 2026, it serves best in legacy systems, budget builds, or as a nostalgic reference point in the evolution of Intel's mobile processors.
