Using a i7-4760hq in a desktop build?

[AnarchistRise]

Hello,

As a first time builder/buyer am searching for options locally regarding buying a somewhat Custom PC. I am looking in purchasing a PC from a local independent company. They offer a program where they have a three(ish) stage setup.

Basic Include:

Asus H series mobo,
Intel I3-I5-I7
Western Standard Ram option, (SSD& Mechanical)
Dvd Reader
PSU
And other odds and ends on demand.

Upon talking to a gentleman there, He said they use an i7-4670 CPU @ 3.4Ghz ?

Upon researching, I discovered that this CPU is in fact a "Notebook CPU"?

Upon researching, I found a model i7-4760hq on the intel website, as a "Notebook CPU"
My questions are, Is this infact a Notebook cpu, or am I missing something, and if so what are the benefits and weaknesses in using this.

I have searched on Newegg, Partpicker ect but cannot come up with very much documentation regarding this issue, and am wondering if this is in fact a good option to go with.

If any more Info is needed, please let me know.

Thank you!

there is no such thing as an i7-4670; there is an i5-4670... or an i7-4770... but there is no such thing as an i7-4670. now the i5-4670 comes stock at 3.4ghz; which is what i think he meant. but the fact he called an i5 and i7 is a scary slip of the tongue. It calls into question his expertise.

Unless it's a typo, I don't think that model of CPU exists in the desktop realm. All desktop (LGA1150) models begin with a 47xx. There is an i7-4770. Intel does not list that model number in its embedded, mobile, or desktop options.

Intel's very own product catalog. Did you find this in your research? It's mighty useful.

A Quick reply, I am almost positive he did say i7-4760, Which I narrowed down to a i7-4760HQ. Would this CPU even be considered to be used in a desktop build?

OP Edited to clarify.

Thanks for the Quick Awnsers!

no. that's not a desktop chip. that's a mobile chip.

I promise you it doesn't run at 3.4ghz stock, that chip won't even turbo up to 3.4ghz, it runs at 2.1ghz.

Thank you for confirming my suspicions, I will get in contact with the store and see if I can't get some correct information.
