Dell Precision 7560 & Precision 7760 pre-release discussion

1. Same as today, you can order a UMA/iGPU option with any CPU on the 7560/7760.
2. The 7x60's will leverage the same keyboard we have today.

 

This link works today:

Good find... Just tweaking the URL finds the 7760 document.

Anybody knows if the current (7X50) or the new (7X60) Precision line supports hardware encryption on NVMe (via Bios)?

There are many threads on the Dell website (examples below) asking for this feature on several laptops

Therefore I am wondering if this business workstation line supports it or not

If anyone has further interest, I found the same type of request on the HP website (Zbook line, link below)

Also in that case there seemed to be little support from HP on that matter

On the other side, from that thread it looks that Lenovo is already offering support for NVMe hardware encryption on business workstation laptops

Thanks anyone in advance for his feedback

There is no specific setting in the BIOS setup for this, unless just setting a password on the drive activates it. You can do hardware encryption via BitLocker on Windows.

 

I expect yo only need minimum from the graphics card.

Intel Xe with a maximum of 32 instead of 96 EUs
Intel's H series is intended for notebooks with a dedicated GPU. Because the Xe graphics unit is usually only used in 2D mode and for video encoding (Quick Sync), Intel has it compared to Tiger Lake-U / Tiger Lake-H35 from a maximum of 96 (G7) to only 32 EUs reduced. This frees up space on the wafer for more important components. The architecture is still Xe, but the small iGPU can only be called like its predecessor: Intel UHD Graphics.

It could make a great eGPU host machine. Less bandwidth issues than the Precision 7740 as TB4 is no longer connected to the PCH.

 

The spec sheet really does show a UHD display with 800 nits on the 7560 ... that seems really bright
Looks like the 120Hz panel is the only UHD option on the 7760. (Naturally you could just set it to 60 Hz if you wanted to...)

 

Is there a block diagram for Tiger Lake-H around?

 

Will Dell offer a updated dock that supports Thunderbolt 4?
