Fastest i7 CPU for W701
Fastest i7 CPU for W701
Hey party people!
I Just bought a W701 Thinkpad off ebay, i think the highest speed i7 available stock with this system was only 2.0Ghz for sum reason? But I figured someone must know some alternative i7's that we can stuff in it, with much more power... Hopefully!
Thanks All!

950mx really won't be compatible?ThinkPadMiami wrote: ↑Wed Jun 10, 2020 7:44 amPresumably it will max out with a 940XM. Not sure about heat dissipation though. That is sometimes a bit tricky with XMs.

Re: Fastest i7 CPU for W701
Nope, that's a desktop CPU, completely different socket. 940XM is the fastest.smf wrote: ↑Tue Jun 16, 2020 10:04 amIdk im not an expert but,
