    I've noticed that the latest verion of CPU-Z still shows the 940xm ES as a non-extreme processor (the blue "intel inside" logo, not the black one) in the m17x. It's probably becasuse under "Name" it just says "Intel Core i7". Is it possible to modify the cpu name somewhere so the cpu-z shows it correctly as an "Intel Core i7 Extreme"?

    My 940XM OEM is also in blue. CPU-Z needs an update :(

    yup, that's all it is. When Cpu-Z doesn't recognize a device it will just display the line logo instead of specific logos.
