    Why do I get significally lower benchmark scores on my i7-940XM?

    huh no i think your mistaking this, it looks to me like its overclocked. Here here are more runs from him he also has couple of score below & right around 7000.

    He actually used to be in this forum quite alot and i belief he was having abit of trouble trying to overclock his 940xm properly..... anyways i believe he was banned from the nbr forum a while ago...

    Oh wow..

    However, 7173 vs 7500 ~ 7600s are still quite a bit of difference..

    so are 6560 to 7173

    you could always try a slight overclock if your not satisfied.
