Yes, same question but for W530. On the fence of whether to go with W530 or W520.

What is the fastest factory installed W530 CPU?

Data out there is inconsistent, I assume this is because Lenovo made multiple upgrades during the lineup's lifespan.

I also know that people have successfully installed faster CPUs not originally offered by Lenovo. What would be the fastest that is fully compatible?
