    OK this annoys me as I thought it was a deliberate under clock from Asus and HP for thermal performance. Not that this was advertised anyway, but to find its a different chip, an MX150 max-q if you will, is really underhanded and shoddy imo. Ive known for some time the swift 3 performs 24% better than HP, Asus, Lenovo etc, I assumed it was an OEM decision. Going by overclock videos I cannot understand it as the ones I have seen are not putting the 2 notebooks (asus and mi) into any thermal danger (sub 80 deg) when under stress.
