There is not much to review - I just replaced my lower performing i5-3320m CPU in my Lenovo T430 laptop with this i7 one and it performs as expected. Although one issue came up that I was not aware of - it was no longer enough with 65w charger for my laptop to work as before, now it requred 90W one, despite both CPUs have 35W TDP, and I chose this i7 CPU intentionally because of that - so that it can be cooled down with existing cooling solution, still the power consumption expected by Lenovo is higher - with 65w charger laptop can work either on battery (with charging it when it goes to sleep) or it works also purely on that charger (if I removed the battery).

The Intel Core i7 3632QM SR0V0 Mobile CPU Processor 35W (which is quad core) is not noticeably faster than the Intel Core i5 2450M (dual core) CPU that it replaced, I think the reason is that the Core i7 does not have the Turbo Boost Technology that the Core i5 has.

Performance is what you can expect from a 3rd gen 4 core i7 CPU, but it can fit laptops with limited cooling capacity. It's definitely worth upgrading from a 2 core solution. I use it in a Thinkpad E330 and heating is about the same as the previous i3 CPU, so not an issue.

This is a very good CPU, I upgraded to 2/4 Core i5 3230M to 4/8 Core i7 3632QM and now my laptop has the twice the power, still very good CPU, works good with videos and multiple programs, chrome tabs also works good. I think this CPU can still be used for some years... Upgrade is worths it because i5 was slow when browsing Chome's 20+ tabs...

Installed on my T430 runs just fine and the TDP is 35 watts same as the i5-3320m a degrees hotter also upgraded the cooler with dual heat sink pipes and delta fan.
