Laptop with desktop like removable CPU

[Frankieanime158]

Hey! Just wanted to talk about something that struck me as odd. A buddy of mine had some thermal throttling on his laptop and asked me to take a look. It's an older Alienware m17x with an i7 2820qm, really beefy heavy thing. I pulled off the bottom to see the heat sink and paste situation, and as you can see from the photo, whoever did this (factory I guess?) seems to put the paste everywhere BUT the CPU. But the socket had a little screw head saying unlock, so out of curiosity I unlocked it, and the CPU was allowed to be ejected like a desktop .-. I've never seen something like this ever, mainly because I've never been in the situation of opening a 'high end laptop'. Yea it's old now, but it was close to top of the line 5 or so years back I assume.. So yea, has anyone ever seen this before? How common is this?

On the temp note. Gaming gave it throttle to 700mhz while hovering around 84c. But now it maintains it's 3.3 turbo at a nice and cool 60

you've never seen this? that's an rPGA988 CPU, there's 988 pins on the bottom. 

 

Intel did this until Haswell, and then on Broadwell they're just like 'lol solder it' 

 

my EliteBook 2570p for example is a 12.5" laptop with one of these sockets and I can drop in a quad-core, it's amazing. 

 

nowadays if you want a socket you need to go for something like the Clevo W650KK1, it's a 15.6" laptop with a GTX 1050Ti and a FULL DESKTOP SOCKET that fits LGA1151 chips.

Pretty standard for most laptops until consumers wanted thinner smaller. Last few laptops I had were sockets, good for an end of life upgrade when parts become dirt cheap.

that is a PGA cpu

 

today you can buy many clevo models with a socketed LGA cpu. Yes they exist

That sucks.

 

On mobile platform Intel's like "we want them to replace laptops more often rather than buying parts, so let's solder it"

 

On desktop platform Intel's like "we dont have a reason, but let's just glue the heat spreader on the CPU rather than solder it so cooling on overclocking CPUs suck and you have to delid it, maybe damage it so you will buy another one"

Nope, never seen this before  That's pretty cool though. It really sucks they don't continue doing this. I get thin laptops for business people, but what if us enthusiasts wanted something like that? They should have at least an alternative .-.

these laptops have a desktop socketed cpu:

 

-clevo n350dw

-clevo n650du

-clevo w650kj1

-clevo w650kk1

-clevo n850kp6

-clevo p750dm2

-clevo p775dm3

-clevo p870dm2

-clevo p870dm3

-clevo p870km

-clevo p870km1

-msi 16L13

Here's a laptop will a LGA 2011 socket that will support up to a 12-Core Xeon CPU:

That one has an LGA 1151 socket which only supports processors up to four cores.

they should be upgraded with 6-cores coffee lake at the start of 2018

The new socket will be called LGA 1151-2 or LGA 1151-3. It will physically be the same as the original LGA 1151 socket. Processors from the previous LGA 1151 socket will not be forwards compatible with this new socket and the new processors will not be compatible with the old socket.

don't worry, eurocom and clevo will make new motherboards

Still, when it comes to multicore performance that 12-Core Xeon will put a Core i7 8700 to shame!

do you know benchmarks for that e5-2695 v2 ?

There aren't official benchmarks for the Core i7-8700 yet so I am not sure how to compare them. By the way, this laptop supports up to a Xeon E5-2697v2.

you are right about that xeon

I could recommend you this laptop: http://www.eluktronics.com/W650KK1-BYO

 

It is the Eluktronics w650kk1 and you can choose *any lga1151 CPU for it.

 

(the " * "  Was put there because the laptop won't support certain CPU's because of power limitations for it's platform AND as well as to prevent damage to your laptop.)

 

GTX 1050 ti 4GB w/ (INSERT CPU HERE) of your choosing with your laptop.

 

performance with a hyperthreaded dual core?

 

For Fortnite: 40 avg.,  * 59 max.  

 

(59 FPS due to screen's limitations unless using external monitor)

 

Oh!  The NVIDIA gpu is also desktop class low-tdp and not the mobile version.  So you quite literally have a mobile budget gaming "Desktop" that can fit in your backpack.

 

There's more!  Virtualization enabled and device passthrough enabled.  ( VT-X, VT-D. )
