Laptops featuring Intel Core i7 Processors, Finally

Intel is known for speed. Intel’s processors are definitely fast but so is also the case with Intel’s development process. Intel has launched the mobile editions of the fastest “Nehalam” processors. While the desktop counterpart has already spawned benchmark-busting laptops, i7 core mobile editions are out too.

Falcon Northwest has already launched i7 Core based laptops in the market. It is one of the first companies to sell notebooks featuring Intel i7 Core Techonology. Though, as you have expected, it would be a the extreme high end lineup. And as this monster is way ahead in terms of performance as compared to the other processors, people at Falcon Northwest have shifted thier attention away from models featuring extremely highend graphic cards.

One fine example is of Northwest FragBook DRX core which features this extremely highend processor from Intel, but have used a lowerend graphics card from nVidia, GeForce GTX 280M instead of using the lastest SLI technology, which uses two grahics chip. The performance has not seen any downfalls though.

These laptops are not only sufficient for highend graphics industry, they are a dream machine even for the extreme gamers. You can easily play Crysis and World of Conflict in the highest graphics settings possible and this processor will give you the best you have ever seen.

The TDP – Thermal Design Power of the processor is a whooping 115 Watts though. So the featured laptops will have more than 3 fans to keep this monster cool and efficient. Northwest FragBook DRX has four cooling fans. The reason is obvious and so would be the specific requirements for its operation. The laptops will not have enough battery for long time. If run on a battery mode, the laptop would be powerless in less than 2 hours.

Northwest, though, is not the only one selling those powerful laptops. Many others have also entered the competition and those include the Smooth Creations and CyberPower. The best bet has been with AVADirect Clevo D900F Core i7 laptop which has the best performance among the tested.

It does seem that other companies will soon catchup on the core i7 processors, and so you can expect some advantages in terms of pricing of the laptops.

On the other hand, Intel has also launched it new flagship processor Intel i7 Core 975 which till date is the fastest processor on earth having a superb speed of 3.6 Ghz in normal mode and just above 5.3 GHz in over clocked state. This monster is expected to stay for a long time to come as Intel is not facing any challenges from AMD this time.
