some teaser pics to get you excited about an upcoming ROG laptop that will be revealed at Computex. The company is not at liberty to disclose the specifications, but it looks like this laptop features a mobile version of NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 1080. The laptop scores P20811 in the 3DMark11 test, which makes it slightly faster than a GeForce GTX Titan X system!
Movies are full of imagination and creativity, you get the sense that given time - anything is possible. From helicarriers to killer robots with AI, it all seems plausible and should be upon us in the not-too-distant future. Well, Marty McFly and Doc seem to have traveled to an alternate future where technology advanced much faster than ours, because I don't see any real hoverboards or flying cars with flux capacitors running on garbage.
Despite all the things we don't have yet, we are making leaps and bounds. Even though you may not realize it, there are actually many things we did manage to actualize from that same movie: persoanl drones, mobile payment, wearables, video phones, video glasses, and don't forget hands-free gaming! It's all about incremental advances, and every once in a while - a significant leap.
ROG is making such a leap as we speak, R&D has agreed to let us peek inside the secret labs to see what the future holds. Of the small bits of info we are allowed to disclose, we are already excited!
What we can say is that one of the highlights from the lab is an overclockable gaming laptop that will rival even gaming desktops. We were told it is a concept machine and thus they are still in the process of making it even more powerful. The exclusive info about to be revealed is without overclocking but is already faster than any laptop on the planet (not including alternate futures or dimensions). Without overclocking this beast can score almost 21K (Performance) in 3DMark11, edging out even the mighty GTX Titan X in this benchmark!
Unfortunately we are not allowed to reveal the specs, but we know you are very resourceful and capable of making good educated guesses! Overclocked performance on the latest benchmarks and specs will all come in due time. We will keep you updated, so stay tuned!
