Right, still on an M4700 here. Was going to bite the bullet on the 5510 for Dell's 35% off sale, but held off due to:
1) CPU clock speeds having stagnated
2) unsure about thermal issues with the ultra thin chassis
3) will it significantly outperform existing setup?
Ideally there will be 6-core mobile processors landing in the next year or so, but likely will have to wait until 2019+
Would be nice to shed some weight with 5510 though, and the power adapter would actually work on planes to boot (180W adapter draws too much).
- majewsky 10y agoWhat makes you think Intel will do 6-core mobile processors anytime soon? Their core count has been pretty constant at least since the introduction of the Core i3/i5/i7 brands.
- virtualwhys 10y ago"Ideally", thus, not happening soon enough for me as I'm going to upgrade within a year. According to this article[1] in mid-2018 Intel will release a 6-core mobile processor. http://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/intel-cannon-lake-late-2017-coffee/ http://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/intel-cannon-lake-lat...
