hey Internet we have a surprise for you today if you've been waiting for the
next-generation XPS 15 we have it right here
wait isn't this just what you think what you reviewed yes and actually Adam has
noted correctly this looks very similar to the current generation XPS 15
aluminum shell carbon fiber rubberized deck keyboard that a little little tiny
keys but still okay the big difference although I will say I think this may
have a fingerprint reader in this model I don't know I wasn't on the call today
but the big deal in this laptop is on the screen it just gave it away
brand-new eighth generation Core i7 CPU the difference 6 cores 6 or 6 cores hold
one hand for course the olden was a quad-core KB leg gtx 1050 same this one
this current one in front of us is if you kept some 50 I know these guys
changing much but what Dell has done is shoehorn Intel's brand-new six core 8
gen CPUs into the same laptop I know you don't think that's a big deal but think
about this this laptop previously topped out with a quad core chip 45 watts the
new 8th gen chip gives you 6 cores at the same 45 watt TDP as a previous
version what does that mean more cores faster video encoding faster photo
editing with photo with optimized apps of course and everything that really
touches all those cores all that goodness that you would need on a
multi-core desktop you can get into a 23 millimeter thick 15 inch laptop pretty
impressive so it should somebody get this or a MacBook Pro well of course
let's bring that up this is what I love is because when I get this laptop
I'll see what version of MacBook Pro I can lay my hands on and I'm gonna be
pretty certain this will clean its clock in fact the previous XPS 15 already
clean the clock of the current MacBook Pro 15 this one with 6 cores in a GTX 50
gonna smoke that Mac Pro no doubt about that you could like
write a check send it to me because that's gonna be that's guarantee it's
gonna smoke MacBook Pro 15 with this XPS 15 everybody knows that I don't care
what you say Apple may have a new one didn't get it today dental has it right
now in the XP of 15 inside this very one although that could change by its ship
by the time ships is a core i7 8750 H the H of course means 45 Watts 6
cores base cloth 2.2 gigahertz turbo super-high 4.2 gigahertz that's really
pushing it and of course 2 point 2 - 4 - sounds pretty wide but as we know from
desktop performance that base 2.2 clock is usually worst case scenario if Dell
is Dennis homework and you're cooling the CPU adequately it will run at a lot
higher clock even under multi-core load it all depends on the cooling you put
inside so we'll see what they do with this but I gotta say it's impressive
we're talking six cores in that 45 watt a laptop designed for 45 watts with the
GTX 1050 it's a really good really good package look at that basically same as a
Corinne XPS 15 so you'll be doing your normal testing we will definitely do
some testing you know of course there are some gaming laptops that are a
little bit bigger that give you basically better graphics 10 60 max Q I
don't know if this is the actual final version probably is it'd be interesting
to see a 10 60 max Q in this laptop probably a little too much for it but
the big deal is if you do your video encoding if you do photo editing that is
optimized for multi-core any of those things 3d rendering 6 cores XPS 15
you're gonna smoke everybody
