You'd have to find a retailer to upgrade the CPU to XM and provide a warranty as ASUS does not offer this spec. ASUS also doesn't recommend the XM CPU as it's a 55W CPU not 45W CPU, which can affect power provision, cooling/temps and noise.

The rest of the spec (1600MHz DDR3, not 1666) is a standard offering on some models, although you must be careful to select a 3D model (with -3D suffix) that has a 120Hz display.

that CPU would be a lot better if we had a real ROG bios.

You'd also need a massive power brick and a much thicker laptop to accommodate the extra power hardware and cooling apparatus as well. Not to forget the fact the XM CPU is a thousand dollar part??

Its a nice idea but i wouldn't say its very practical and also not needed.. I tested the physics and CPU performance with 3D mark11 with my i7-3610Q with all the latest intel chipset beta/dev leak drivers to maximize performance and my own little tweaks 😉 and i got a score of 7504.
If you compare my CPU score to that of the i7-Extreme (6810), my ROG i7-3610Q still whoopps its ass nicely 😛 infact my results are off the charts for laptops and not even too far away from the highest desktop score 🙂

lol its also worth noting that the 3dmark11 CPU benchmark utilizes single and multicore performance so its a pretty accurate test imo..

I understand. 3610QM is a very good CPU.
