AMD’s processors are sitting inside Dell’s newest Alienware laptop for the first time in over a decade.
AMD is finally getting the respect it deserves, and with good reason—its latest generation Zen 3 lineup is the real deal, in both desktop and laptop form. The demand for Zen 3 is so high that Dell is updating its Alienware laptops with AMD’s latest generation processors, pairing them with NVIDIA’s newest Ampere GPUs. Not to be overlooked, the combination of AMD and NVIDIA in an Alienware laptop has not been done in over a decade, since the Aurora mALX in 2007. « We heard what you wanted, » Dell wrote on Twitter. « The Alienware m15 Ryzen Edition R5, now with a fresh design and AMD Ryzen 5000 series mobile CPUs. Enjoy multi-core performance designed for gaming and content creation, all in one portable form factor. Coming soon. » Dell is pulling out all the stops for its latest Alienware laptop. There are multiple display options, each one in the 15.6-inch form factor and each with a blazing fast refresh rate. Two of the options are Full HD 1080p (1920×1080) configurations, one with a 165Hz refresh rate and 3ms response time, and the other with a insanely fast 360MHz refresh rate and 1ms response time.
