Win7 Detects i7 instead of i5
hi guys,
i have just noticed that on my DELL work PC, win7 detects that i have an i7 3540M but i am pretty sure that it's an i5, always had... i had a look in the BIOS and it detects i7 at the moment, even just upgraded BIOS to the latest from Dell's website, really weird..
i am just worried that now frequency is running really high, in fact according to CPU-z it's boosting up to 3.6Ghz, which is in fact the correct spec for that i7... ARK | Intel® Core? i7-3540M Processor (4M Cache, up to 3.70 GHz) but that's not what is on the machine...
what's the deal? cant remember doing any other BIOS update... win7 updates, sure... really odd..
thanks
