Anthony Garreffa | Mar 17, 2022 8:14 PM CDT

Samsung is launching its new Galaxy Book2 Pro laptop which will pack not just one but two technologies from Intel: an Intel 12th Gen Core "Alder Lake" CPU and Intel Arc GPU.

Intel Arc GPU debuts inside Samsung Galaxy Book2 Pro laptop for $1350

The new Samsung Galaxy Book2 Pro laptop features a 15.6-inch 1920 x 1080 AMOLED-based display, and an Intel 12th Gen Core "Alder Lake" CPU in Core i7 form (12 cores, but the model isn't listed). There's 16GB of LPDDR5-6400 RAM, a 512GB PCIe Gen 4 NVMe M.2 SSD, and Wi-Fi 6 connectivity.

The reason we know about this is that retailer BHPhotoVideo posted, but the part I want to see is the Intel Arc GPU -- which is an unnamed model -- but we should expect the Intel Arc A350M or A370M, both of these GPUs are based on the DG2-128EU GPU. We should expect much more details on Intel Arc Laptop GPUs on March 30, but Samsung's new Galaxy Book2 Pro laptop is for sale early... oops.

Anthony Garreffa | Feb 27, 2022 6:29 PM CST

Samsung's next-gen Galaxy Book 2 Pro will be fully unveiled this week during Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona, Spain... but now we have some early rumors to report on.

Samsung Galaxy Book 2 Pro packs Intel Arc Alchemist discrete GPU

The new Galaxy Book 2 Pro will be made available in two different sizes: 13.3-inch and 15.6-inch, with the larger model featuring an Intel Arc Alchemist discrete GPU. Samsung's new Galaxy Book 2 Pro laptops are part of Intel's latest EVO platform, packing a 12th Gen Core "Alder Lake" CPU with built-in Iris Xe graphics.

But the larger 15.6-inch model has higher-end graphics thanks to the Intel Arc Alchemist discrete GPU, which adds another 600g to the overall weight -- 1.11kg to 1.17kg -- which would be for the beefier thermal solution for the discrete GPU. As for the Samsung Galaxy Book 2 it offers up to 21 hours of battery life, packs 5G and Wi-Fi 6E connectivity, runs Windows 11, and it's all delivered over a 65W USB Type-C power connector.

CyberPowerPC's new Tracer gaming laptops have EXTERNAL liquid cooling

Anthony Garreffa | Jan 10, 2022 10:28 PM CST

CyberPowerPC unveiled its new Trace VI Edge Pro Liquid Cool series laptop, powered with Intel and NVIDIA's latest chips but get this: active liquid cooling, built into the laptop but externally... check it out:

CyberPowerPC's new Tracer gaming laptops have EXTERNAL liquid cooling

The new CyberPowerPC Tracer VI Edge Pro Liquid Cool gaming laptop packs a 15-inch 1440p 240Hz LED display, Intel's latest Core i9-12900HK processor, NVIDIA's latest GeForce RTX 30 series Laptop GPU, up to 64GB of DDR5 RAM, up to 2TB of NVMe M.2 SSD storage, 1 x HDMI 2.1, 3 x USB 3.1 Gen1 Type-A, and 1 x USB 3.1 Gen2 Type-C ports.

The company hasn't detailed which GPU will go into the liquid-cooled gaming laptop, but with an external liquid cooler, I would expect to only see NVIDIA's new flagship GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Laptop GPU with 16GB of GDDR6 memory. CyberPowerPC will have mean external reservoir that connects to 2 x quick-release connectors on the back of the laptop. The CPU and GPU temperature drops are massive... meaning you'll continue to hit max CPU and GPU clocks thanks to the chips running far cooler being cooled by water.
