Photos popped up online of an upcoming Acer Nitro AN515-31 laptop that features the Intel Core i7-8550U. This Coffee Lake based processor is a quad-core model with eight threads running at 1.8GHz. The most exciting part is that this is one of the first quad-core processors with a 15W TDP. Intel claims the doubling of the number of cores will result in performance gains of up to 30 percent for energy efficient laptops.
The source says the Acer Nitro AN515-31 will costs around 25,000 baht in Thailand, which is close to $752. The system has 20GB DDR4 memory and an unspecified NVIDIA GeForce GTX GPU.
