Intel adds new performance Mobile CPUs like Core i7-4940MX

Intel adds new performance Mobile CPUs like Core i7-4940MX

Intel just releases a price-list marking no less then 10 new Mobile CPUs, out of which half of them are beefy alright. You'll five Core i7 models, four Core i5s and also a Celeron chip. The most high-end model is the Core i7-4940MX that comes with a good 4 cores and is clocked at 3.1 GHz.

The whopping price for the 4940 is $1,096 (!). Other mobile processors are the 4910MQ abd 4810, but also three ultra-low voltage CPUs namely the Core i5-4360U, i5-4310U and then that  Celeron 2980U. Prices vary widely, but have a peek at that overview as listed below I'd say:

Geeze, $1096 for a mobile CPU !
The i7-4910MQ @ +- half the price is a better option imo.

While I'd rather opt for i7-4910MQ over i7-4940MX, as you suggested, I can still see it as a viable option.
Extreme CPU, while overpriced, allow overclocking. So if a laptop manufacturer opts for mobo, bios, and cooling that allow overclocking, it may have sense. If I remember correctly, some Alienware (and perhaps other) laptops allowed quite a lot of OC. In such case, you pay for computing power significantly greater than specs would suggest.

Yeah, high end CPU's are always super expensive, it almost seems exponential! It's never the value purchase.

Aah yes i forgot that the "X" is an extreme edition which i obviously the main reason for the huge price difference. In that case then yes it might be worth it for some, personally i think it will be very challenging to keep that chip cool on a high over-clock though.

What gain does intel have with price points like these? These prices aren't attractive to anyone - if they want to help declining PC sales, maybe they need to stop beating the dead horse that is AMD and start giving people reasons to buy x86 over ARM. With quad and octa core tablets and phones, the average person doesn't need anything much better. Intel is in their own idiotic world if they think they're going to "win" by acting like their price point is reasonable - $9 billion in PROFITS clearly shows they don't even know what to do with the money. For a company that prides in being "innovators of tomorrow", proportionate to their income, they're by far the least innovative of their competitors. AMD, nvidia, Samsung, TI, and arguably even VIA have all done something to change their strategy to meet with the new age of products, but Intel continues to tread the exact same path with minor tweaks for years. Then, they whine about why nobody wants to use them for phones and tablets.
