It's with these laptops that mantle could really come into its own.

How much of an impact does the amd cpu have Gibbo? Are they allowing overclocking on these laptops yet?

Well we had this argument on the older 7970M APU based laptop, in the end its True HD gaming performance was on average 2-3fps slower than it would be if it was an Intel based CPU but similar spec would cost £200-£300 more. It was only games like Total War Rome, where CPU had a bigger impact, but most games at True HD are relying on GPU power mostly.

Don't think you can overclock them, they'd get too hot.

If Mantle does come and get good, then yes it completely makes the CPU irrelevant and as such it would be as if this laptop had like a 4770k, that is Mantles strength.

I feel Mantle will come, it has huge support to succeed, *COUGH CONSOLES* ;)
 
You got any in yet to fiddle with gibbo? If you can do a video review when you do so i can hear it in game mode to hear if its noisy or not then you have a sale.

My betting is it will make some noise, just a question of how loud as none of the powerful gaming laptops are silent.
