There are noticeable regressions with the current chassis compared to 7X10/20/30/40 generations, though; one big disadvantage is not being able to tilt the display back all the way. I am hoping Dell finds a way to update the chassis without messing with the DGFF form factor. I would also really like a 16:10 display; there is so much bezel space wasted at the bottom of the lid. As a computer architecture nerd, this is so cool. Only thing is that it's so surprising that big.LITTLE took more than a decade to come to desktops after ARM introduced it back in 2011 (I recall wondering if my HTC One X would have it). From what I see on Reddit and on the various benchmark posts, the Alder Lake CPUs perform almost similarly at 75 W as they do at 115-130 W; coupled with the drastic boost in single- and multi-threaded performance, the conclusion is that yes, Alder Lake narrowly beats Apple M1 in terms of efficiency, too. Either way, this decade has started out very well for advancements in computing (notwithstanding COVID).

Incredible effort to save a veritable treasure trove of content, guides, images, opinions and conversations, @Aaron44126, @Sandy Bridge (incidentally, what a wonderful microarchitecture), and @Reciever for setting up EFGXT. I wish I could've contributed, but I don't have the know-how.

Truly the end of an era. I've removed the forum from my bookmarks and Tapatalk. At the very least, I'm glad that we have a very good archive here, as well as one on the Wayback Machine by the Archive Team; maybe we can see if we can run a CDN-run archive, see how we can get funding for that.

I've got my usual wishlist... 16:10 144 Hz 1440p 10-bit 15.6" display option GeForce RTX GPU options to complement the Core i CPU options (they already have RTX 3080 as a 'secret' option; but make it configurable openly) AMD Ryzen + RX/Radeon Pro graphics options (not likely; Ryzen has been out for 5 years now and Alder Lake has blasted past Zen 3 and even Apple M in terms of efficiency; I saw this coming) Make the palmrest aluminium/magnesium as well Bring back the 7530/7730 keyboard layout Bring back the 7530/7730 hinge design, which allowed the display to fold back to > 180°

By golly; the new CPUs are crazy. I am regretting my 7560 now...

Does EFGXT have Tapatalk integration? If not, that would be very welcome. The mobile site looks pretty nice already, but I am just quite used to the Tapatalk interface.

First post here, with a classic emoji The 7560 cable should be interchangeable with the 7550 (as should most of the other non-motherboard, non-GPU parts); in fact, my CMN 1080p 500-nit display is listed as a 7550 part. How do you plan to fit the 16:10 display onto the 7550, which has a 16:9 bezel?
