i7-3540m Laptop Upgrade
This is the fastest processor that HP installed 8470p Elitebook (there's is a "w" model with different specs). There is an error in the HP service manual for the 8470p describing the CPU as quad core, but the CPU is only dual core. The CPU was easy to install, and the original processor has residual value in low-mid $20s (i-5 CPU).Read full review...

A great upgrade
Bought this product to replace my old and slow i3-3310M and it works FLAWLESSLY!! Everything is much faster now and now my laptop is capable of some light gaming, which I thought it would have not possible.
I highly recommend to buy this thing if your laptop supports processor swapping and you need the extra boost from this.Read full review...

Highly Valuable in 2018
The 3840 is a solid processor - competitive to many modern CPUs, even in Q2 2018. It’s not as power efficient, but, many computers that run this lithography (especially by Lenovo - T430, T530) don’t suffer throttling that affects performance, thermal or otherwise. You can’t get that kind of reliablility in the 7th, or even 8th gen Intel processors at this price point. Read full review...

Excellent laptop upgrade
Bought it to replace my i3 laptop (Toshiba C855 series) CPU. It's fairly easy to put place and perform much better than the i3.
Although being an older CPU generation, it's more than enough for any intense productivity computer.Read full review...

Does what it has to do.
There was no compatibility issues with a Dell Vostro 3560 laptop HM77 chipset. I installed it instead of Intel core i3. I am satisfied. With this processor and new Samsung EVO 850 SSD drive, my laptop is extremely quick. Read full review...

Pleasantly Surprised
I could not have been happier with my purchase. Not only did it arrive earlier than expected, it was exactly what was needed to give my old work horse a new lease online. Thanks I will be purchasing again from here!!Read full review...

Do it yourself
Installation was very easy and the computer did the rest. Maybe 20 minutes and I was up to speed.

A worthwhile upgrade for a laptop...
I was using this CPU to uprgrade an exsisting one in a Sony Vaio SVE1511HFXW laptop. It came originally with an i5-2540M with HD Graphics 3000. This one is an exact fit. The performance gain was noticable considering it is an older laptop. Along with an SSD, makes it a worthwhile and low cost.Read full review...
