    u mean the recommended customer price? just realized they indeed do have the same tag on intels side, weird....

    as far as i can see, there are following differences (3720qm vs. 3610QM)
    + 300 Mhz Base / Turbo Clock
    + 150 Mhz integrated GPU clock
    + VT function enabled

    Imagine selling a better processor for the same price. What will the customer choose?

    These prices are set by sager. Probably a quick way to make a buck on anyone that wants to step up to VT...
