The FRU list lists the highest processor to be:
i7-3520M
will either the Thinkpad L530 or L430 support the 3632qm or the 3612qm processors - both are 35W as the one in the FRU list ?
I found this thread, in german (i read it using google translate): http://thinkpad-forum.de/threads/169677 ... 12QM/page2?
and it suggest that it won't work, but i am not sure, also, the guy didn't say how it doesn't work, if it show an error or just doesn't run, maybe he had a bad processor.
is lenovo known to do those sort of limitations ?
