    The FRU list lists the highest processor to be:

    04W4139 - Intel Core i7-3520M

    will this Thinkpad L530 support the 3632qm or the 3612qm processors - both are 35W ?

    I found this thread, in german: L53x Hat jemand Erfahrungen mit L530 und Intel Core i7-3612QM ? - Seite 2 (i read it using google translate)

    And it suggest that it won't work, but i am not sure, also, the guy didn't say how it doesn't work, if it show an error or just doesn't run, maybe he had a bad processor.

    is lenovo known to do those sort of limitations ?
