    I can't find the technical specifications of i7-2670QM on Intel's website.

    Is it a genuine Intel product?

    The 2670QM might be replacing the 2630QM but it is a tiny bit more than just a clock increase; it also includes AES & VT-d which the 2630QM does not, but to most people this won't matter unless they are running disc encryption and VMs.

    Actually, the 2630qm includes AES-NI.

    ----
    It is pretty much up to OEM to enable AES-NI and VT-* support

    if u go on this link: http://www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-Processors-Benchmarklist.2436.0.html u check all parametres of cpus u like.
    You have to check "days old" and this cpu 2960XM is 11 days old today so laptop manuf. have them preordered
    there is 2860QM and notebookcheck website made mistake
    It says 254 days but it's 11 days old too it is brand new from QM
    But if you like laptop monkey on ebay sellin' 2960XM quite few weeks.
    May be ES edition?

    Hi Charles,

    Your link to the webpage only states the specs for 2760QM. I'm looking for 2670QM.

    The 2670QM seems like a very nice option.
    If one would be getting a SB quad, then this is the one to get most definitely (anything abover that is plain and simple not worth the cost, unless you wish to OC).
