Alienware\'s new gaming laptops get matching Ivy Bridge processors

Alienware is crossing the Ivy Bridge, below per week since announcing its refreshed family of gaming laptops. Intel's latest hardware will now lend itself to all three models, the M14x (from $1100) M17x (starting at $1500) and M18x (from $2000), replacing the prevailing Sandy Bridge architecture within the models we saw earlier this month. Starting with the smallest, the M14x might be powered by an Intel Core i7-3820QM (as much as 2.7GHz), while larger models gets their processors nudged as much as the two.9 GHz Core i7-3920XM (M17x) and 2.9GHz Core i7-3920XM (M18x). Alienware reckons these new additions will lend a fifteen percent increase to the rigs' performance (counting on use), augmenting improvements seen with new PCI Express 3.0 support, mSATA cached storage and the newest generation of NVIDIA graphics. Dell's now able to take your order -- alongside a mind-boggling choice of customization options -- on the source link below.
