what processor does it have? 4800MQ or 4820K?
1475720
4700 MQ and the hard drive crashed 2 months after I received the machine and just after I had rated it. Lost all my data. Support from Lenovo was not all that great either- 3 weeks to get a replacement hard drive.

I have the standard model 20BG0016US, with a sealed-by-Lenovo box and with the 4800MQ see http://psref.lenovo.com/Detail/65?M=20BG0016US. Lenovo and other retailers sell W540s upgraded to the i7 4820K, but they're not the 20BG0016US, although some retailers may upgrade your 20BG0016US after you buy it upon request.

I received mine on September 22nd and it does have the i5-2430M. Kind of interesting though as even the box and all of the packaging lists the i5-2410M. Only see the correct processor when you look at the computer profile once you start it up.

I bought this for my first PC build. My motherboard is the Rampage IV Extreme and GPU is a 660 ti. Obviously the weak link is my GPU. I've ran some pretty taxing games, mainly Arma 3, BF4 and Skyrim(No mods though yet so not as taxing). My 4820k has never gone above 33-35c (With h80i water cooler). But games aren't very taxing on the CPU anyways, I do quite a bit of gaming and this CPU works great. You probably already chose your CPU but I figured I'd answer anyways. Happy gaming!

Looking at the part # BX80646I54690K from Intel's website says this is a socket 1150 product.http://ark.intel.com/products/80811/Intel-Core-i5-4690K-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3_90-GHz

As per the Asus website, yes it will [Core i7-4930K (3.4GHz, L3:12M, 6C, HT, 130W, rev.S1) since bios 4306]. I installed successfully with a i7-4820K but I did have to use the designated USB port to flash the bios to the most recent version, which can be downloaded from the Asus site. You must download the file, rename it properly, place it on the usb, put it in the labeled slot with power attached, and press a button. It auto-flashes the BIOS then the PC will boot up and load the cpu. Also install the most recent drivers from Asus once your OS is installed.

It is the Intel Core i7-4810mq quad core processor. The four cores can handle up to eight threads. Each core offers a base speed of 2.8GHz but can increase clock rates with Turbo Boost up to 3.6GHz. I hope his helps!

The "K" processors support overclocking, which the ones without the K in the model number do not. There are a couple of other minor differences that you can see here http://ark.intel.com/compare/80811,80810 (if that link doesn't work, go to ark.intel.com and compare them directly).

It's a third gen Intel chip, so it's HD 4000. Please check the official specs before buying.

Based on my research, it is a 4th Generation Intel Core i5 processor. http://ark.intel.com/products/75047/intel-core-i5-4670-processor-6m-cache-up-to-3_80-ghz

Its a dual core processor, but you have to set that preference in the bios.

I have this quad core processor. Mine says the same. The 45Nm is the technology used to produce the microchip architecture. (All the super tiny circuits on the chip.) 12MB Cache is a better processor memory. I have very good luck with mine. It plays all the FPS games I have and some MMO games like MechWarrior online smoothly.

Try your best to get your money back. I can tell you from first glance that a 3615QM IS NOT 3.40 GHz. Just my opinion, but if I were you I'd be patient and wait for the GTX 680M technology to flourish. Believe me when I say it'd be worth your while.

Each processor has advantages over the other. Depending on what you plan to use your system for would determine which would be better for you. The 4820k has more PCI-e bandwidth which will enable you to run more PCI-e cards at a higher bandwidth. It also possess quad channel memory capabilities which can increase the memory performance in some applications. The processor also has the lid soldered on so it will transfer heat better from the chip to the heatsink. Overall, it is a expensive platform. The 4770k advantages are that it has a faster IPC, meaning that for each cycle of the processor, it will be faster. The difference isn't large, but it is there. The 4770k runs on a newer architecture names Haswell whereas the 4820k is the previous generation names Ivy-Bridge. The 1150 socket comes with a more updated chipset. Which means it will natively support more SATA3 and USB3 ports (depending on which chipset you choose, H81, Q85, Z87, etc). The motherboards are less money typically than the 2011 socket board. The main advantage to go to the 2011 is the growth from a quad core with hyper-threading to a six core with hyper-threading. The typical user would never notice a difference. It is very likely that you will be more than happy with the 4770k system setup. Hope that helps you out.

The one I purchased has an i5-4200U CPU @1.60GHz 2.3GHz 8GB RAM and 256GB SSD.

yes I have the evga x79 dark with a i7 4820k as well water cooler pro 3.0 by thermaltake and it works very nicely, you can overclock it if you want but really is not a need for it. I suggest atleast 8gbs for anything you do though these days don't matter what kind of ram you got its just makes more sense :) gl

Yes. According to information found on another merchant site this is in fact a trinity core. Which is weird because I have owned this processor for awhile now and never noticed that. For 30$ more you can get the Black edition with over clocking enabled. However both are good processors the black is recommended for gaming

http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Pentium-G3420-vs-Intel-Pentium-G3258They recommend the G3258.
