Intel Xeon W3670 in a laptop

[timothybrey]

I have an Intel Xeon w3670 and an planning on upgrading it, but I don't want to just throw away the 6 core processor. I was thinking of putting the Xeon in a Dell laptop but I don't know if it will fit. Thanks.

First off laptop and desktop /servers usually have different sockets and I am 99% sure you won't find any compatible laptop with proper socket
second, xeon are server CPU with draws a more power than laptop cpu. Without proper cooling your laptop will be cooking and die.
All and all it is a bad idea and probably impossible.

Your w3670 is quite popular on ebay so just put it on there for the prices that others sold for.
