    They may help framerates a bit, especially minimums if you OC the CPU, but don't expect too much.

    3920XM @ 4.3Ghz should be easily doable. I run mine at 4.3Ghz for everyday use, I can do up to 4.7Ghz but 4.3Ghz is best since it requires no additional voltage.

    So if i overclock it, what kind of mobile processor can i compare it too? I don't want to shell 150$ to get only 2-3 more frames.

    It will help in CPU intensive areas where the stock turbo of the 3630qm will lack.

    I have an unlocked bios with the overclocking feature enabled. Its on the M17x r4 so I'm afraid to brick my bios or something if i do want to overclock it through there
