Intel® Core™ i7-3612QE

The Intel Core i7-3612QE is a laptop processor with 4 cores and 8 threads, built on the Ivy Bridge architecture (32 nm process). It launched in Apr 2012. Clocks run from 2.1 GHz base to 3.1 GHz boost. A 6-MB L3 cache backs the cores (1.8 MB per core). It uses the FCBGA1224 socket. Rated TDP is 35 W.

The Intel Core i7-3612QE scores 1,542 in single-core performance and 4,668 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 2,683 for overall performance, 5,193 for productivity performance, 5,343 for creator performance, 4,493 for engineering performance and 5,793 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 1,167 per core, 584 per thread and 133 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 454. Its performance index is 33, so its overall performance is 67% below the Intel Core i5-12400 (index 100). Each bar shows the score as a share of a reference ceiling, which is the larger of the 99th-percentile score across the Feex CPU database and a fixed baseline.

Scores for individual PassMark CPU Mark test categories. Higher is better. These are measured test scores, not computed from the single-core and multi-core ratings.

In the individual workload tests the Intel Core i7-3612QE scores 16,332 in integer math, 8,308 in floating-point math, 75,275 in compression, 1,365 in cryptography, 363 in physics simulation, 3,206 in vector SIMD, 24 in the prime sieve and 10,122 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 72% below in integer math, 82% below in floating-point math, 67% below in compression, 88% below in cryptography, 67% below in physics simulation, 79% below in vector SIMD, 64% below in the prime sieve and 55% below in sorting. Each bar shows the score as a share of that workload's reference ceiling, the larger of the 99th-percentile score across CPUs with a recorded value and a fixed baseline.

The Intel Core i7-3612QE has 4 physical cores and runs 8 logical threads. It does not use a hybrid performance and efficiency core layout. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 2.10 GHz and boosts up to 3.10 GHz.

The Intel Core i7-3612QE is a laptop processor, belongs to the Intel Core i7 family, uses the Ivy Bridge architecture, carries the codename Ivy Bridge and is manufactured on a 32 nm process. It launched in Apr 2012.

The Intel Core i7-3612QE has 256 KB of L1 cache, 1 MB of L2 cache and 6 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 7.3 MB of cache, or 1.81 MB per core. Each core has 256 KB of private L2 cache.

The Intel Core i7-3612QE has a 3-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 256 KB, L2 at 1 MB and L3 at 6 MB. L3 is the largest level and makes up about 83% of the cache listed here.
