The P772 does not reach the uppermost performance ranks in our system benchmarks due to the lack of a SSD. DELL Vostro V130 battery Nevertheless, the accomplished 6747 points in PCMark Vantage and 2858 points in PCMark 7 are quite decent and on a par with the competition. Dell Inspiron XPS battery
The user will rarely experience performance issues anyway. Even demanding programs will barely be a problem for the Lifebook. An even faster quad-core processor would hardly be suitable for the small case due to its higher power consumption - particularly since not every application benefits from the additional cores. DELL XPS 15 battery
We deem investing in a modern SSD to be more sensible as it not only improves responsiveness and booting times but also frequently contributes to a longer charger life. However, either the 2.5-inch HDD or the UMTS module would have to be removed before installing such a module. Unfortunately we could not check whether the mini PCIe slot will work with mSATA SSDs during our tests.

The HD Graphics 4000 is the HD Graphics 3000's heir that was found in the core processors of the Sandy Bridge series. The HD 4000 is still a graphics solution primarily made for Office and multimedia tasks despite a thorough revision and highly improved performance. The so-called multi-format codec engine (MFX) supports codecs like H.264, MPEG-2 or VC1 in resolutions up to 4K for this purpose. Besides decoding, video encoding and transcoding can be accelerated via QuickSync, which also unburdens the processor and reduces power consumption.
What does the 3D performance look like? As we previously examined in a comprehensive review, it is comparable with AMD's Radeon HD 6620G Llano APU in many cases. 703 points in 3DMark 11's performance preset correspond to a dedicated Radeon HD 7450M or GeForce GT 520MX. Current midrange accelerators, such as the GeForce GT 650M, are easily three times faster.
The HD Graphics 4000 certainly does not promise unlimited gaming fun, but sufficient performance reserves for graphically undemanding tracks or low detail levels are available. You will find extensive benchmarks for Ivy Bridge's processor-integrated graphics unit in our database so that we only performed a few measurements to verify the already known performance at this point.
A consistently smooth game play was possible in 1024x768 pixels and minimum graphic quality in three of the four tested tracks. The player can even unhesitatingly enable the screen's native resolution of 1280x800 pixels in Anno 2070 and Dirt Showdown without having to expect annoying stutters. In return, the action RGP Deus Ex: Human Revolution needs somewhat higher frame rates, which is why we would refrain from increasing the settings here. DELL Alienware M14x battery
Thus, the main board chip set doesn't have much to do anymore - other than to provide interfaces and vPro functions.
The Core i7-620M is a real mobile dual-core version from the Core i7 range and is already manufactured in the newest 32 nm structure process to a part. The GMA HD graphic chip is still a bit coarser with 45 nm. The 620M's performance level is above the older Core 2 Duo's leaders. The power consumption is in the middle at 35 watts and therefore again on par with comparable Core 2 Duo (T) models.
However, this rate already included the memory controller's and graphic chip's power consumption. The Core range introduces two more or less new features. For one thing, hyperthreading known from P4 times and for another the long forgotten turbo mode from 286 days - okay, the clock rates are something else (up to 3.33 GHz). How much impact and how high the turbo's overclocking will really be is dependent on the load of the other CPU and GPU cores and the given cooling. HP ProBook 5330m battery

The processor performance is more than sufficient for the mobile business person, as the 620M is one of the currently strongest two core chips. Together with the lush RAM configuration, it also guarantees smooth working with modern (bloated) (Java) applications. Even the XP mode or small virtual machines aren't a big challenge for the light notebook. The RAM configuration may even suffice for small developer tasks with a common IDE.
A smooth rendering of high resolution media content is possible because the graphic card supports the processor at HD decoding - but not from BluRay, as it doesn't have the necessary drive - it wouldn't fit to the application scenario that Fujitsu has thought for this device, either. Samsung X20 battery
The Intel Graphics Media Accelerator HD Graphics doesn't have much to offer in terms of gaming performance, as expected. Undemanding or older games (WoW, Quake 3) run at most. However, it proves to be very energy saving due to dynamic clocking and the overclocking function. A more precise overview of the graphic chip's gaming performance can be found here. SAMSUNG NP-N150P battery
The viewing angle dependency isn't overwhelming but o.k. for the notebook class. The colors falsify quickly and the brightness decreases especially from the sides. Due to the matt surface and high luminosity, the device can be used outdoors without hesitation. Not as good, but also not as important for this notebook class, is the rather high black value of 1.8 and the low contrast. Reflective gaming notebooks have significantly better rates here. Good news is that the display can also be used with its full brightness in charger mode. DELL Vostro V13 battery
Intel's Core i7-620M doesn't just differ from its Core Duo range predecessor in terms of processor architecture, but it's also accompanied by a new feature for Intel processors and a new feature in general.
