First AMD CPU gaming notebook in YEARS.

First gaming note book/gpu shutoff... Something lost in translation perhaps?

1. It's crossfire (essentially asynchronous) where both gpus are used in tandem - unless the user has specified otherwise, although there's no real reason to do that.

2. You been able to by Llano laptops like this for the past year. There's plenty people on here with sub £500 Hp laptops that run bf3/skyrim on them.

The ones with the top end gpu cos t a bit more, but not much. Also Llano overclocks very well, like 40-50% on stock volts well as it was essentially a final gen phenom. Once people start getting their hands on trinity it'll be interesting to see how they oc too, but the gpu is the limiting factor in laptops and amd fixed that last year :p
 
What are you talking about?

1) No, you can xfire the trinity GPU and a 7970M, thats ridiculous, it's going to be an optimus like relationship (but the onboard GPU can drive more than 2 displays so you get eyefinity).

2) Those were multimedia machines, not gaming notebooks. Trinity is still nowhere near a gaming machine.
 
Apologies, got my chips confused.

Depends really. All a machine has to be capable of is playing games at reasonable settings e.g. mid for that consideration, which the trinity/llano dual gpus are more than capable of. They don't compete with high-end but they perform very well in their price range.

Incidentally, it's a trinity chip in that thing, msi simply fixed the gpu limitation by strapping a bigger gpu to it.
 
It becomes a different relationship like I was saying.

This is a 1080p gaming notebook that should cost $1200 or 980 euros.
