    Can anyone tell me
    which graphics intel i7-2630QM has intel HD 2000 or intel HD 3000

    as far as i know i7-2720QM has intel HD 3000

    I know now graphics in sandy bridge arnt named as HD 3000 or HD 2000 (Now)
    but when sandy bridge processors where released these things where specified on intels site
    i dont know y i7-2630QM n has i7-2720QM has this price gap

    but if the igp of i7-2630QM is HD 2000 ? (which is not specified anywhere but only clock frequency is specified)
    and the igp of i7-2720QM is HD 3000 (which is not specified now but was specified on intels site when sandy brigde processors where launched)

    there is a markable difference in their igp rather than just higher clock frequency rates
    coz
    The GMA HD 2000 offers only half of the 12 Execution Units (EUs) of the Intel GMA HD 3000.

    correct me if im wrong :confused:

    but in HD 3000 all IGP have clock frequency of 1.3 ghz

    I doubted the IGP of i7-2630QM coz it has a clock frequency of 1.1ghz
    can i know from where u came to know abt it
    any source that i7-2630QM has HD 3000

    yaaa
    every one has neglected
    1600 mhz ram in i7-2720QM
    wat do u think that will it be a trend to use 1600mhz
    within years to come

    n can i use 1 1333mhz ram n the other 1600 mhz ram at once

    Will it give me more boost with 1600 Mhz ram?

    coz i personally think that as processing power has increased
    so application demanding more processing power will also increase with time
    im sayin it for next 4 years

    Intel HD 3000 is garbage, whether it is running at 1.6 GHz or 1.1 Ghz.

    XPS 15 has the 525/540m already. XPS 15 i7-2630 is a MUCH better processor if you care about "application demanding more processing power will also increase with time"

    Dude i was saying it coz IGP processor is amazingly fast in video transcoding n encoding
    it has hardware acceleration for those things
    that is if a really fast nvidia gpu will take 3:00 to complete conversion of a video
    Intel IGP will take around 10-15 secs
    n trust me it works really well for day to day tasks
    this is what intel displayed in CES 2011
    n trust me it also performs really well in terms of redering frame per sec as compared to the clock frequency at which it operates

    nvidia isnt that fast in video encoding n other things
    coz it was made to handle games in a better not for video encoding
    n other stuff
