Eurocom Corporation (www.eurocom.com), a developer of High Performance Mobile Workstations and Hardcore Mobile Gaming Rigs is adding the AMD Radeon HD 7970M GPU to the Neptune 2.0 and Racer 2.0 high performance notebooks. The addition of the MXM 3.0b spec AMD Radeon HD 7970M offers gamers and enthusiasts a new level of ultra high performance GPU computing with AMD Enduro for insane battery life by taking advantage of AMD's existing ZeroCore Power and Power Gating battery-saving features.

“Hardcore gamers, enthusiasts, your dreams have come true! The AMD Radeon HD 7970M is the best graphics GPU in terms of overall price and performance on the market . The AMD Radeon HD 7970M, combined with Intel XTU and Intel XMP gives gamers and power users full control of their powerful EUROCOM super-notebooks ” Mark Bialic, Eurocom President.

Eurocom offers gamers and enthusiasts total control of their fully customizable EUROCOM Racer 2.0 and Neptune 2.0, the AMD Radeon HD 7970M will can team up with up to 32GB of DDR3-1600 RAM, Intel Core i7 3920XM Notebook Processor, RAID 0/1/5 capability with SSD, HDD, mSATA and Hybrid drive support to create blazing mobile performance for the hard core gamers out there.

AMD Radeon HD 7970M graphics are designed to not only push the boundaries of DirectX® 11 gaming, the GCN Architecture help within is also AMD's first design specifically engineered for general computing. Equipped with up to 32 compute units (2048 stream processors), each containing a scalar coprocessor, AMD's 28nm GPUs are more than capable of handling workloads-and programming languages-traditionally exclusive to the processor. Coupled with the dramatic rise of GPU-aware programming languages like C++ AMP and OpenCL, the GCN Architecture is a truly professional tool.

“The AMD Radeon HD 7970M is going to elevate GPU performance to new heights by providing superior gaming performance combined with high reliability and extremely high price/performance ratio. We are looking forward to further improving performance in Intel Chief River and Ivy Bridge platforms combined with Intel XTU and XMP for total control of the gaming system” states Mark Bialic.
