3DMark confirms up to Intel Core i9-10900K, an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER, 64 GB of DDR4 RAM and 2 TB RAID 0 SSDs for new Dell Alienware Area-51m

[Redaktion]

A new Dell Alienware Area-51m is on its way. Likely launching alongside the XPS 15 9500 and XPS 17 9700, 3DMark has confirmed that the Area-51m R2 will feature up to an Intel Core i9-10900K, an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER, 64 GB of DDR4-2933 RAM and 2 TB of SSD storage running in RAID 0.

the difference between 2060 and 2080s is far less than the difference between vega igpu and mx 350.
just a reminder how brainwashed users are, in both directions.

the difference between 2060 and 2080s is far less than the difference between vega igpu and mx 350.
just a reminder how brainwashed users are, in both directions.

Ok, well the difference going from HD (768p, which would commonly be run on the vega iGpu) to FHD (1080p, which would probably be what some games can be run at on the MX350) is 1024512 pixels.

The difference going from FHD (1080p, what the 2060 has the sweet spot for) to 4k (2160p, what the 2080s excels at) is 42700800 pixels.

Translation: The pixel density of 4k is 2060% (20.6x) larger than the pixel density of 1080p, which is only just under 200% (2x) larger than the pixel density of 768p.

You can't go based on percentage points alone... it's not a fair comparison. Your comparison assumes that people are running the 2060 and 2080 at the same resolution, when you know full well that the 2080s is not designed to be for 1080p. Both the Vega iGPU and MX350 are low tier GPUs, not meant to dynamically raise the graphics of the same. A smaller playing field means that the percentages are simply going to be bigger, that is just the nature of numbers. The playing field uses smaller numbers for the weaker GPUs. This is called taking things out of context.

Changes / Additions I'd like to see:

• Removal of glossy-textured bezels and front piece, blend both with the rest of the chassis


• Removal of HDD bay in favor of triple / quad M.2 drive bays, allows for more general room for perhaps something such as a subwoofer, larger battery, and perhaps a better cooling solution


• More IO, such as dual USB-C ports (one of which has TB3) and quad USB-A ports, and a full-size SD card slot.


• More display options, 240hz/300Hz 1080p display w/ 300+ nits of brightness, 4K 60hz/120hz display w/ up to 500 nits of brightness


• Larger touchpad, similar in size to Clevo's upcoming X170

Does the laptop mobo have desktop chipset VRMs and GDDR6 for the cpu and GPU to help with DDR5 RAM soon with the new SSDs by the end of this year after making a wifi 6 mino/5g intel/Qualcomm modem chip for this beast after fixing the cooling system for air powering the battery using solar air/heat/cooling as it sucks in air to cool and power the system here?
