    Mainly because of the integrated graphic processor, there should be a significant battery life increase, especially on clevo DTRs where even one hour is "long" :D

    What I want to know is about how much longer can integrated graphic improve battery life? Say, x8100 or x7200?

    According to Intel - +20%. Don't keep your hopes high though, 980X/990X will remain the most powerful CPU's till the second half/end of 2011. It is also unlikely that X7200 will be upgraded to the new platform before the end of 2011.

    I have seen nothing on an X67 chipset being launched for desktop Sandy Bridge only P67, H67, and H61. If the x7200 uses the P67 chipset it won't support the IGP.....if it uses the H67 the x7200 won't support SLI.

    So it will be around 10%-15% then.. or it should be. And no I'm not waiting for sandy bridge on x7200.. Too long of a wait and I need a new computer desperately lol

    Sandy Bridge gonna launch 5 january.
    The highest CPU is gonna be for now qud core.
    The best cpu is gonna be 980x/990x for a while.

    But after sandy bridge is gonna sell a lot, they gonna introduce something like x68 chipset wich will support 8 core cpus with 4 quad chanell ddr3.
    And its gonna take a while before we see that in a x7200 succesor.

    It will be interesting if we will see new clevo chasis based on sandy bridge, with a quad core cpu, integrated graphics and sli nvidias/crossfire amds
