    That's Intel's website... The 2760 is cheaper and is generally faster so go with that.

    Wouldn't the 2860QM be the more suitable comparison to the 2760QM? I was under the impression that the 2820QM is EOL.

    I think those are the two models hes considering to buy. Probably as he can get the older 2820qm cheaper as the 2860qm.

    The wiki shows that the 2760QM pushes up to 3.2GHz on all four cores when under full load. The 2820QM only pushes to 3.0 and has a lesser maximum overclock.

    The 2820QM is cheaper, if I'm not mistaken, but the 2760QM is faster overall.
