As the new GPU is included in the CPU, it is also manufactured in 32nm and shares the fast level 3 cache with the CPU cores (using a new ring bus). The most noteable improvements are the new 256Bit AVX instructions, the improved Turbo 2.0 and the integration of the graphics card into the 32nm CPU core.ĭer i5-2540M offers an integrated graphics card ( Intel HD Graphics 3000) which is clearly faster then the older Intel HD Graphics in the Arrandale CPUs. Sandy Bridge is the evolutionary successor of the Arrandale architecture. The base clock speed is 2.6 GHz but due to Turbo Boost it can reach 3.1 GHz (2 cores active) and 3.3 GHz (1 core active). Compared to the faster Core i7, the i5 offers a smaller last level cache of 3MB. It is based on the Sandy Bridge architecture and offers Hyperthreading to handle 4 threads at once (for a better usage of the pipeline). The Intel Core i5-2540M is a fast high end dual core processor at the time of introduction in Q1 2011. Intel Core i5-2540M ► remove from comparison
