Just PICKED up two computers at a steal of a price, an Elitebook and a Thinkpad and need to UPGRADE the CPU in both of them... both of them have socketed CPU so they can be easily changed without a mainboard replacement

I'm looking for the fastest second gen quad core mobile i7 for the Elitebook that will work with dedicated graphics and a 90w power adapter as this will be my video editing machine when I'm on the go

I'm not wanting to get the fastest 4th gen quad core mobile i7 for the Thinkpad since that's outta my budget but wanna know if a LOWER speed quad mobile i7 would do me good or could I just pick up a top of the line i5 dual core.. this is my "gaming" computer and I wanna get better performance when I'm playing older games like GTA V as my current setup with an i5-4300m 8GB ram and GT730M graphics and get around 45FPS at 720p with that setup but my CPU is pegged and is currently the bottleneck of the system making me have input lag about 75% of the time

what do you recommend? i've asked around and nobody can tell me what would be a good choice for me to pickupYou should post the Model #'s of both units for proper advice...

the i7-4900HQ is way too much money I was thinking of an i7-4702MQ or i7-4712MQ (first one is my first choice) for it but would that work and would be good enough for GTA V? i'm already getting 45FPS but i'm experiencing input lag due to the i5-4300m in my machine being pegged at 100% usage 100% of the time

the 8460p only supports sandy bridge second gen i-series CPUs due to BIOS limitations and the i7-2860QM (highest HP offered) was what I was gonna go with but is there something better or more powerful in the second gen i7 quad core mobile series in 45w TDP that may work for this machine?
