4810MQ vs 4930MX

[Theguywhobea]

Does anyone here have first hand experience with these two CPU's? Could you tell me if the 4930MX is worth the cost to upgrade to? Thanks dudes.

Not much difference in speed but much in price. Plus the extreme version will run hotter which will create tremendous problems for you.

I think my laptop has the 4810MQ or the 4910MQ. It does CPU things?

 

Gets eh battery life, runs matlab and solidworks like a champ relative to its era, games OK on the ~5 occasions I've tried?

I know that the 4930MX is 57w tdp versus the 4810MQ 45w tdp, but I think the Alienware 18 can handle it, as they claim there is even headroom for overclocking. I'm just thinking that the performance difference might be higher once overclocked.
