That is a 47w CPU. That is way higher than the TDP of most laptops allows for (displays, discreet GPUs, etc). The 15" MBP only has an 85W charger, which must both charge the battery and power the laptop simultaneously, how is there room for this thirsty a CPU in a MBP style chassis?

Plenty of laptops aimed at the market the MacBook Pro is ostensibly aimed at come with a 4700MQ (or 6700MQ). If the design of the MBP only allows for an ultrabook-type CPU, it's not really fit for purpose.

I take back what I said, they do use the higher end variant of exactly that cpu: I7-4980HQ although it's probably aggressively clocked and or binned.
