This mobile dual-core processor has already come to the attention of fans of technical innovations, but he really deserves to be pointed at him again. Processor Intel Core i7 640UM looks impressive. The processor will be presented in the first quarter of 2010 and will reign in the market of ultra-thin, "Ultra-Mobile" (UM, ultra-mobile) devices. In fact, the word that he will be one of the best mobile chips ever made by Intel, will not be an exaggeration. This dual core by default clocked at 1.2GHz, but with Turbo mode it can be overclocked up to 2.26GHz core clock striking. This power consumption does not exceed 18W, a beautiful number, if you remember that this 32nm processor, made on the basis of architecture Arrandale, built-in graphics core (IGP), the memory controller (IMC) and Northbridge (IOH).

The only drawback is the future of mobile dual-core support for Simultaneous Multithreading (formerly known as HyperThreading), as in this case, this option does not provide virtually no benefits, but consumes a lot of extra energy. The only advantage of enabling this feature is that it displays in the Windows Task Manager, four threads, and may many enthusiasts making a purchasing decision in favor of this processor.

CPU Core i7 640UM will have 4MB cache, FSB 1066MHz, while the corresponding H55 chipset will support the shift schedules. Probably, in many laptops, which will be issued based on this processor will be used to switch from discrete graphics on embedded and back. Theoretically, such a possibility would provide a longer battery life. This processor will appear in the first quarter of next year at $ 305 in a batch of 1000 pieces.
