I recently bought a HP EliteBook 8470w with an i7-3630QM cpu, and according to the HP spec PDF this model has the mobile Intel QM77 Express chipset and G2 cpu socket.
I'm upgrading the unit to 16 Gb Gskill PC3-12800 ram, a 512 Gb Samsung 840 Pro ssd and adding a Blu-ray optical drive/software.
I'm also considering upgrading the cpu, and I see the Intel i7-3840QM listed in the HP EliteBook 8470w manual as the top of the cpu upgrade path for this model. I also found a HP EliteBook 8470w listed at CDW that had an i7-3840QM.
But when I look at the Intel information for the i7-3840QM it says the compatible Intel chipsets are B75, H77, Z75 and Z77...and I don't see mentioned the QM77 Express chipset, so I'm a little uncertain that the i7-3840QM will work, and just want to be sure before I order the i7-3840QM cpu.
Will the the Intel i7-3840QM cpu work in a HP EliteBook 8470w with mobile Intel QM77 Express chipset and G2 cpu socket?
Thanks for any help you can give.
