Alienware M15x (with Core i7-920XM) If money is no object and mobile gaming is your goal, the M15x strikes a reasonable balance between size and speed.

Is there a really big performance increase with the 940 vs the 920? The reason I'm asking is yesterday when the Dell tech support guy left I re-installed my 940 and I feel like such a jerk but when I put it in I looked on the right of the chip and the pins were seated properly but I failed to check the left side cause it looked ok. Well when I tightened everything down about 5 pins broke off and of course it's trashed. I called my friend and he said he could send me a 920ES for $225 or a 940 for $450. When I had my 940 in, I would get above average scores on different benchmarking programs at stock settings.
As soon as I used ThrottleStop and I tried countless settings to find that sweet spot but no matter what settings I used, my benchmark scores were drastically lower. Does the 920 work better with T.S. Than the 940?
Thanks in advance for any responses. They work the same vis-a-vis Throttlestop. As a value proposition, it is hard to justify the higher price for a 940xm, much less double the price. However, for the extreme benchmarker, the 940xm offers the capacity to operate the CPU at 27x across the board, whereas the 920xm is limited to 26x, at least in the M15x. That difference is meaningless in most situations, but can be valuable to the user who seeks the absolute maximum performance levels. It all depends on your priorities, and how much they're worth to you.
Ok, thanks a lot for the info, totally forgot about this. The M15x is missing this feature. Would be a lot of fun for benching Hmm. The M17x bios got modded. I still have a little bit of hope that this will happen to the M15x bios as well one day.With voltage comes heat. A lot of heat, but it would be great for pushing the systemI looked for a hardmod for the voltage, but wasn't able to find any information so far, don't think it has been done on a mobile first-i7 so far, or I simply missed it.
