Windows 7: Will 3930k fit in a laptop?

Austin8868 · 10 Dec 2011

Im trying to decide if i want to build a new desktop or buy a high end laptop to replace my desktop. Im drifting more toward a laptop since its portable but anyways I need a hex core cpu which i know is hard to find on a laptop but i was looking around and noticed intel released there 6 core sandy bridge processors. Will the 3930 fit in a laptop that already has a sandy bridge cpu or are they different sockets? If they are different, are there any laptops it will fit into?

Not even if you tried really hard.

There are e.g. 6core i7 laptops. Just Google.

There are a few custom models that will accommodate desktop hex core, but they are very few and far between - and are ridiculously priced. So far they are limited to the first gen i7's (ie i7-990/990x) - I haven't seen any SB based 'desktop' chip based custom models out yet.

For SB, the i7-2960XM is the current fastest mobile chip, but that's still only a 4 core +HT. Haven't heard of any 6 core SB mobile chips being released soon.

Clevo is known for building such laptops.(desktop components in a laptop form). I would check with them.
