No upgrade from HD5650?

 

There seems to be no info anywhere on the new stuff so I have no idea.

 

I wanted to see 3820TG with a sandy bridge cpu

 

Anyone have any information on the ATi 6550 GPU?

Edit: Kind of disappointing to not see the TimelineX have a newer GPU. I was already upset the refresh did not bring USB 3.0

 

HD6550 is HD5650 + 50MHz on Core clocks..

 

The German sites are already showing 4820TG's with 6xxx series GPUs. Acer Aspire TimelineX 4820TG-644G16Mnks - Notebooks - computeruniverse.net and the 3820TG Acer Aspire TimelineX 3820TG-464G75nks - Notebooks - computeruniverse.net. There was also a link circulating with a chineese 3820TG model sporting an I5-480M CPU and HD 6570 GPU. We have not seen this on a retailer's site yet.

They will get here sooner or later.

I would think the 2011 Acers would come with a SB processor, Ati 6XXXX graphics and at least ONE usb 3.0 port.

 

The german link has the 4820TG with USB 2.0. Seriously? Why on earth would Acer update the GPU and CPU and not include USB 3.0?

 

I think Intel doesn't particularly like USB 3.0 so you need an external controller to make it work (at least it's not supported by current generations of chipsets).
External controllers cost money and don't really give you your money's worth as USB 3 is not really a standard yet.

 

Acer has announced a Sandybridge Model, the 5750 will get a Sandybridge CPU and the HD 6550 or 6570 GPU. Intel's Sandy Bridge shows up in notebooks

Are they going to upgrade the Timelinex series with a 6xxx series GPU and then upgrade the Madison Motherboard after CES?

Bronsky

 

Full fledged mobile SB + discrete GPU on a 12.1" form factor...If anyone can actually do that my bet will be on Acer.

 

Intel is not throwing into USB 3.0 because it has developed its own, "Light Peak", which is faster than USB 3.0. So now we have the controller wars, who will win?

Should we wait for Light Peak or or run with USB 3.0? I see another VHS vs Beta debacle here.

 

Apple is putting Lightpeak in the new April 2011 MBP's, and Lightpeak is backwards compatible with USB 3.0 (I think) so...

 

With they'd add bluray and a better screen to 3820/4820.

 

I forgot to add this link to my thread above, but in this guys story he mentions Steve Jobs not backing USB 3.0 as well.

How is lightpeak backward compatible with USB 3.0? Backward compatible would not be the right term, it would be inter-operable but I cannot see the two technologies being compatible. On one hand USB 3.0 reserved optical connectivity capabilities, but one the other Lightpeak cannot power attached devices.

It would take a great sabotage for Lightpeak to beat out USB 3.0

 

The new TimelineX are already shipping with 6000 series Mobility Radeon, not a must have upgrade IMO though.

 

If they came with GDDR5 then it would be interesting.

 

I find it troubling that Acer is not adding SB to all their Timeline X series.

If in fact they do not add SB to their Timeline X series, they will drop the ball.

 

Not really, where is the competition?

 

12-13" is popular among consumers.

There has to be a few manufactures who will compete with Acer's Timeline X models, especially the 3820 series.

 

Sandybridge will have it's greatest impact on dual core processor units with integrated graphics only or larger units that would normally use quad cores. I do think that Acer will add Sandybridge units because Intel will almost force them to. By March or April would be my guess.

 

lol SB sucks. you cant OC them since their front side bus is locked
you can only get those with an unlocked multiplier since they come at price premium
intel is smart

doubt laptops will have unlocked multiplier cpu

 

1. You could not overclock the core i series either in notebooks.
2. You want to overclock the CPU in a 13" laptop?

 

1. Core i series can be overclocked...
2. It has been done...

 

Yes.

Bronsky

 

I take it you hard modded the PLL?

 

Nope, just using SetFSB...

 

Lol, acer used locked ones in their larger machines but not in their smaller ones? *sigh*

Which PLL is used?

 

ics9lprs365bglf or G73JH...

 

With its dual fan/sink system the 3820TG is an OC'ers dream. Mine hits a stable 3.7ghz in turbo and is optimized at 3.664ghz max turbo speed. The I5-580M is the fastest OC'd so far at 3.8ghz. The I7 dual core do not seem to OC as well as the I5s.

Bronsky

 

Yeah I have a different clock gen ICS9LPRS365BKLFT, *sigh*.

 

ES cpu's might

 

This is good news either way. Prices on current 3820TG/4820TG units should drop a bit.

Now, if they'd put higher-res screens in the 4820TG that'd be sweet.

 

Acer Aspire 5253BZ684
CPU: E-350 Zacate
Chipset:
Display: NLED 15.6 WXGAG
GPU: ?
Memory: 3GB Memory DDR3
Hard Drive: 320GB
Optical: DVD
Price: $449 MSRP

Nice price, wrong size.

 

, where's the 3820TG?

Plus, it needs to get to North America, the good not watered down versions.

Good thing I saw this thread, even though most likely these won't make it to North America as well. At least now I have an excuse to not buy the i3 3820tg from Canada.

offtopic: Bronsky, I could not resist anymore to ask: Why do you write Chinese always as "chineese"? lol

 

Oh lawd he's raciist!

But yeah, many here like to buy from the Pchome for the higher specc'd 3820TGs and 4820TGs. Still, it tends to be much pricier than the Canadian one (~$200 difference?)

 

I'm planning to get the Acer Aspire 7745G-5464G32MNks with Core i5-460M & HD5850. has 4 GB DDR3-1066 SO-DIMM and 320 GB SATA 5.400 U/min. It costs
780€ in germany right now...
I was going to get it for christmas, but do you guys recommend to wait until
next year? Would the wait be worth it?

 

Because I'm too lazy to spell check or edit these posts. Have no idea why I put 2 e's there. Never noticed it before.

@jerg - Didn't know that mis-spelling made you a racist?

 

I am thinking the same thing. I really dunno what to do, we could be waiting until February, March or maybe never

 

Schenker is offering for 960€ 17", 5870ddr3 + 8gb ddr3 1333mhz, 7200rpm hdd, i5-460m sounds better to me!

for 865€ you can get 15" schenker with 445m(apparently slightly better than 5850), 8gb ddr3 1333mhz, 7200rpm, i5-460m

one has to consider the ati vs nvidia driver support etc, but this seems to be the wrong section for this... ^^

no idea what to do, how about the experts give us a hand here?

p.s. I see 555m series on the way! On one hand I can't wait anymore, on the other hand the wait is maybe worth it...
