I have a ThinkPad T530 with an i7-3720QM and was thinking of the new T550 or W550s.
My problem is that my i7-3720QM has a CPU benchmark of 8310 and the new i7-5600U has a CPU benchmark of only 4306.
Other than power saving features, from a pure performance point of view, this seems like a huge step downward. And, the new 5th gen i7s are only dual-core and there are no quad cores...
The W541 can come with an i7-4910MQ which has a high CPU benchmark.
What am I missing ??? All the new ultra-low voltage CPUs may give us great battery life but it seems to me that we have lost all high-performance computing...
