Compare that specs with 2010 Intel notebook CPUs ("Westmere") max 2.8 GHz - very little has changed for notebooks. see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_Core_i7_microprocessors#Westmere_microarchitecture_.281st_generation.29_2 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_Core_i7_micropro...
