What the Core i7-5850HQ is
The Core i7-5850HQ is the upper mid Broadwell-H laptop part on BGA 1364 for thin workstations. Intel set four cores and eight threads at 2.7 GHz base with turbo to 3.6 GHz. Six megabytes of cache plus 128 MB eDRAM balance threads and graphics. Power is 47 W on 14 nm from June 2015.
The 100 MHz turbo edge over the 5700HQ helps bursts in edits and compiles without changing power or graphics. Sustained work still follows chassis cooling. The chip solders to the board, so workstation choice locks speed. No unlocked claim is recorded.
Iris Pro Graphics 6200 from 300 MHz to 1100 MHz drives color accurate laptop panels and external 4K displays. DDR3L-1600 and 1866 over two channels feed the system. Buyers pick the 5850HQ where certified drivers and Iris Pro must meet in a 47 W mobile workstation.
Socket and motherboard compatibility
The 5850HQ solders to BGA 1364 with workstation cooling for 47 W. No socket and no later swap exist. Shoppers lock panel, memory and SSD at order time. ISV certified boards sometimes add smart card and dock options that outlive the CPU.
Mobile chipsets pair with H silicon rather than desktop boards. The LGA, PGA and BGA: CPU package types explained guide covers soldered limits. Check dock and display output support, since the CPU cannot change later.
Memory, PCIe and cooling
DDR3L-1600 and 1866 and LPDDR3 to 32 GB over two channels suit mobile workstations. Matched pairs help Iris Pro in CAD previews. Sixteen to thirty two gigabytes covers VMs and datasets. The eDRAM smooths graphics where memory bandwidth binds.
PCIe 3.0 with 16 lanes from the CPU feeds NVMe SSDs and a discrete workstation GPU option. Many 5850HQ systems use integrated graphics alone for battery. A fast Gen3 SSD is the best later upgrade.
Cooling is business class dual fans for 47 W with no boxed cooler. Quiet profiles suit offices, performance profiles suit renders. Sustained 3.6 GHz bursts need cool intakes.
Upgrade paths
No CPU path exists on soldered BGA-1364. Compare the Intel Core i7-5700HQ at 2.7 GHz to 3.5 GHz below with the Intel Core i7-5950HQ at 2.9 GHz to 3.8 GHz at the top. All share package and graphics brand, so turbo and price decide.
A new workstation means a new platform. The How to find your CPU socket type guide helps confirm soldered mobile workstations.
