I just got a confirmation for an alienware rep that alienware will release the new GPU's along with the release of the new intel kaby lake processors.
About those CPU's we might get some news as Intel Developer forum is currently ongoing (16th - 18th august).
Now all I need is the combination of a GTX 1080 combined with one of the new 120Hz laptop G-sync monitors, and I'm sold.hmscott likes this. -

Unfortunately Clevo also does not offer 18" models anymore.

While that is sad and true, the quality of Clevo's 17 inch displays is very good and now includes 120Hz 5ms FHD IPS and 120Hz UHD with pending G-STINK license forthcoming (ransom paid by Clevo, processing pending with NGREEDIA) for those that care about that.Daniel1983, Prema and GodlikeRU like this. -
Better G-Stink than problems with AMD Freesync. They should adapt VESA Adaptive v-sync to make it cross-gpu.
I can't find any reliable information. Only thing that G-sync does is removing screen tearing?Mr. Fox likes this. -

The picture is much larger than Clevo. Clevo is a pretty large supplier. However there are way more companies involved here that has helped the movement to BGA. In the long run its easier for nvidia to produce non "m" chips. As long as the new standard is in fact the standard for a longtime like mxm was then we should see the new form factor as the standard for a while. If they can produce these desktop cards and make them reliable in mobile platforms then it is better for laptops users performance wise. In theory it should help bring prices down since they aren't producing a whole new set of chips for laptops, sorta. If they can make this the new standard for high end enthusiast for he next few years then we will have better performance than we have ever seen. Hopefully this isn't a temporary stop to end all slotted cards and go BGA only. The oems have to come up with ways to keep them cool.
Surely if these up to the high end laptop maker like Clevo they would have kept the format the same, it surely would be in their best interest. They either have to go with he flow or close up. Hopefully they *****ed a moaned atleast on our behalf.Last edited: Aug 17, 2016 -

They were binned. The better ones were picked for notebooks and the best ones for Quadros.

I just feel bad for those that don't know any better and think they are buying something they are not. That's not a good deal for them. Pretending it is almost as good looking only at stock clocks and ignoring lack of potential to achieve far better than stock results can be misleading to those with higher expectations. Assuming anything because it it bears a Core i7 label or an Alienware, MSI or ASUS ROG label is a huge mistake.
But, I guess we can always say it's their fault for not doing their homework or firmly establishing their expectations and criteria before loading their shopping cart.
This is where guys like Brother @D2 Ultima add a lot of value to discussions. I know he tries very hard to get people to understand the big picture and take time to contemplate the implications of their buying decisions. I really like that he does that. As long as people keep an open mind and look objectively at the information they are presented with, nobody gets their knickers in a twist. Instead of being objective, too many times people get offended and scramble to make excuses for stunted performance when using consumer products in a scenario where they have enthusiast expectations.Last edited: Aug 17, 2016Ashtrix, TBoneSan, Daniel1983 and 3 others like this. -
For its energy efficiency it is just a quick performer.
For me it is really apple to oranges comparisons because pretty much all BGA cpu's are smaller machines which cannot run desktop CPU's just due to the sheer size and portability purposes. It would become a whole different story in my opinion when they plant a BGA cpu in a pure DTR. You simply cant have it all. There is always a tradeoff. But apart from static benchmarks all curent BGA core I7 quadcores will not hamper the videogames played on in any way even with the upcoming 1080 cards. So for the purpose gaming it is more than adequate.
That old CPU's perform just as good when overclocked is not true though. I said that too just months ago. After carefully testing floating point performance. A mediocre Core I5 beats out the highest end early heavily overclocked I7's in those regards but you cant really upgrade it because the new chipset architecture differences. So just as the current MXM changes, the socket changes as well and kinda ruins the purpose of being able to upgrade it. It is easy to repair yes. You can upgrade it with a cpu from the same generation. But you cant move beyond that architecture.hmscott likes this. -
Oh yeah, what about the samples that are below that? Some can't even hit 3.8GHz in a well cooled machine (and I mean really better than whatever most have)! That's pretty wide range, that was never the case before. Percentage wise, don't get me started.
The sockets are useless because grIntel and partly manufacturers made it so. What? You think that they plan their products one at a time and can't foresee how the socket should be like? Yeah, give me a break. Every AMD AM socket was a BIOS away from getting a + behind and be compatible with newer CPUs. It was the case with Sandy and Ivy, but the manufacturers were unwilling to provide BIOS. Then again the hub (South bridge if you will) is different as well, so this one is in grIntel's garden. New motherboards and machines must be sold you know.
MXM varies, because it was never really a standard, most manufacturers did whatever they liked, as this was by standard, but all is "good", it's gone now, just like sockets, so you can sleep well tonight.

Edit. This is eg the best Wprime 1024M I could find for a so called 4.2 GHz and not 4.3 GHz from Alienware user @iunlock on Hwbot. Not even done from 4.0 GHz
Please post numbers,whatever you will find from 4.3 Ghz or higher clockspeed done from an Aw "Echo" in the tread!! Thanks...!!Last edited: Aug 17, 2016 -

And true they dont need to indefinitely support an older platform. But it does render the upgrade argument a bit moot. On the other hand though the 201X platform is running quite a long time now. A very clear upgrade path.

Here we go..., A few benchmarks done by @iunlock
None of them is done with 4.3 GHz or higher. Either throttling or lower clockspeed than 4.3 GHz!! More like 4.0 and up to 4.1 GHz.
If plenty of Aw owners claim that they run 4.3 GHz... Why can you say this is correct without proof?
And no one have managed 4.3 GHz or higher in Futuremark's benchmarks with AW BGA machines as I know!!
As I said in previous post. Not a damn benchmark is done perfectly fine with 4.3 GHz or higher with an AW " Echo" machine!! When you make claims... Show what you have or stop coming with incorrectness!!

How are you going to feel when a potential and likely bga Dellienware with Pascal beats your Clevo? Face it...your rig is getting obsolete.
Will you be buying a D3 1080 SLI? Hmmm... I'll wait for you to answer and if you say that you are, take a picture of it to show proof.
You're bga ranting is running dry mister. Hang it up already. It has gotten old a long time ago.
You remind me of a kid with low self esteem that have to keep putting others down to make yourself feel better.

You act like it's some big secret that has been unfolded that there are throttle issues. Obviously. Even with your Clevo...
Seriously, grow up. -

BUt true he seems to have some instability issues at highe roverclocks as the 4.6ghz he mentioned. Does it matter a lot though. 4.2GHZ is still a mighty fine overclock for a machine in this class and shows the efficiency.
http://forum.notebookreview.com/thr...-settings-for-4-0ghz-to-4-3ghz-stable.787791/
Not everyone uses HWbot to make a registration of their benchmark score since not everyone is overclocking for sports. I have one of the highest performing 2500K's with 5ghz on air cooling even, but I never submitted any high score to HWbot. However like I said there are enough 6820HK overclocked machines running at 4.3.
BUt granted the machines from a quick google search running at 4.3 are not that common. Confused it with 4.1 but that is still a mightly fine overclock.iunlock likes this. -
But if you know the correct numbers in Wprime 1024M, you can easily see massive throttling down to under 4.0 GHz in that bench in his learn to Overclock thread.
I know what the scores should be
I shall not twist more about this!! But correct have to be correctDaniel1983 likes this. -
My other 17R3 can stay steady at 4.5 and 4.6, but obviously throttle.
The point is...these are impressive for what it is...a mobile 6820HK.

My 5GHZ old Sandy bridge performs lower than my 6700HQ. If the IPC is lower, the score will be lower. -

The 4.2 GHz image you missed in previous post. The score indicate massive throttling, and the clockspeed well under 4.0GHz in that Wprime 1024M stress test.
Still problems with the forum site. Try one more time

edit: these are not my problems, they're on AlienClub today"I imagine this topic has been done to death on here, but it's a nightmare trying to find something relevant given how many variants of AW devices are in existence now. So apologies if this is old news. I've got a 2015 17 R3, 6820HK, 980M 8GB. At the time it was top of the line maxed out.
as usual
anybody here would like to chime in there, help clean up R3's rep, gets these fellas sorted out, be my guest
__________
Alienware 17-R3, Thermals & throttling at 4.0GHz
AW still have on the sales page that their 6820HK can be clocked up to 4.1GHz, I cannot get that and I've yet to see many who can, so I've been running it at 4.0GHz which is close enough. It's not what I thought I was buying though. And the OC level 3 profile in the BIOS blue screens on boot.
However, the thermals are absolutely shocking. The fans scream and after monitoring via HWMonitor, I can see it's thermal throttling so badly that it's spending more time at the 3.0GHz mark than anywhere near 4.0GHz.
So I dialed it back a bit and ran it at 3.7GHz, but even still it's hitting upwards of 97 and throttling down to less than 3.0GHz.
If I disable the OC profile in the BIOS and run stock settings, it runs at around 88 degrees but even under full load will hover around 3.2GHz which isn't acceptable when I bought this unit on strength of the sales pitch of 4.1GHz. I use this for 3D CAD work which is highly clock speed sensitive, so this is really not acceptable.
Anyone got any advice for these units on how to run it around 4.0GHz without it savagely throttling due to thermals? I've read about people suggesting opening it up and re-applying thermal paste... again though that's not something I should have to be doing on a new unit trying to run it within the advertised limits. I appreciate that doesn't leave many options but it's worth an ask".
edit: follow-up response: " Hey, thanks for the reply. I've just updated to that new BIOS and can confirm it still blue screens at OC level 3, WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR. The temps didn't get a chance to go high, they hit around 79 before it then blue screened under a moderate amount of CPU load.
My suspicion is that AW have advertised the 6820HK at being able to run at 4.1GHz without validating a wide range of samples, 4.1GHz is looking like a target frequency that only a minority of chips are able to reach".
"I think this problem may be from thermal throtilling as in my temp while gaming gets really high 70-80 C..I did that diagnostic thing no issues found HELPPPP

Both of my 17R3's ran stable on 4.3GHz out of factory without re-pasting. Do NOT use the in BIOS OC Options-they are useless. Use Intel XTU to dial in a stable 4.3GHz OC.. You'll have to decrease the power to keep the temps down.. Your temps are very high, I don't recall ever hitting over 95c on factory paste.. I have re-pasted since for piece of mind & better performance. Now I run it on 4.0GHz 90% of the time, and rarely (if needed for the task at hand) I'll OC to 4.3GHz++ then back down after completion of said task. The only thing you can do is decrease power to CPU and dial in a good OC setting to keep temps down. Other than that re-paste is a MUST and highly recommended. You may not be able to squeeze out 4.3GHz on factory paste but you should be able to get at least 4.1 if you know what you are doing. -

That's a quote from the Alienware forums.

80's, 90's and even 100 is common from factory paste. Sad I know....
I'm in a similar line of work as well as video rendering / editing. ie. ..CPU intensive tasks...
With a proper repaste and replacing your stock thermal pads (optional, but highly recommended) you can achieve these temps as I am on both of my 17R3's.
