Desktop CPU on notebook

Can you put the S or T versions of desktop sandy bridge processors on a laptop? Would they perform better that the mobile ones? Would their heat be managable on a dual vent system?

 

no you cant

 

Correct answer in most cases but not in all.
Clevo produces (produced?) some computers with laptop style casings but with desktop interior (e.g. D900, D901).

 

Only Clevo produces notebooks that can handle full-on desktop processors. The current iteration is the X7200, which uses Intel X58 and the 1st generation of Core i7 processors.

However, the P270WM's motherboard was spotted at Computex, and that is a future machine that will house Intel X79 and Sandy Bridge-E processors. Release date unknown. Maybe January.

 

see above, no he cant

 

I see. I cant right now but it is possible in the future. Thank you.

 

The OP was asking about Sandy Bridge CPUs, in which case Mr MM is correct. It is impossible to put a desktop Sandy Bridge CPU into a notebook at this time.

 

well if the op wants the revision of the clevo that is an option and the only one, however neither of the available processor are going to fit, since the socket is different. And I dont think that there will be a S series, a T is possible, but a S highly unlikely. He also has to be cautions since intel has a tendency to change the socket, like the S series of SB.

 

And going with last-gen desktop CPUs in a notebook is a waste unless you need six cores, because aside from the hexacore extreme editions, SandyBridge notebook CPUs can match last-gen's desktop CPUs.

 

the x58 is from 2008

 

That's actually a relatively surprising ratio (that laptop hardware is generally 1 generation behind desktop one in performance).

Still, fact remains that making laptops just as powerful as desktops with ample cooling is more than doable.
In fact it was doable for numerous years.

However, due to the industry's mentality, laptops end up with slower hardware than most up to date desktops and are generally more expensive predominantly because of the 'mobility factor' (next in line comes the 'brand', etc...).

 

Not what was said.

You can't get current sandy bridge desktop CPUs in notebooks because there is no point.

X79 is coming to notebooks because there is not going to be a mobile version of it.

 

No matter what people say, laptops can never be as powerful as desktops. The average laptop might become the same as the average desktop, but that would be because average users don't need the performance so much anymore since modern tech can handle nerly anything aside from gaming with ease. This brings the two closer together. However, simply due to the fact that they're vastly smaller, they simply can't handle the heat that desktops can deal with. High powered desktops can quite happily chew through 500w or more, a laptop simply couldn't handle that sort of heat. It's simply not possible to get that sort of cooling in that small a space while still running at acceptable temperatures.

Say you had a watercooled desktop, you can stick in a top of the range processor and 4 graphics cards if you wanted and still not have any of them rise past 50 degrees at full load. Then you look at a gaming laptop which probably has less than half the punch of a decent desktop and yet loading out at 60-70 would probably be pretty good going.

Although technology is getting better as far as cooling goes, you can also apply it in the exact same way with desktops, allowing them to handle even more power.
