MSI has just announced that for a limited time only its powerful GT780DX gaming notebook will be available with an overclocked Intel Core i7-2920XM Extreme Edition processor that can reach frequencies up to 4.16GHz in Turbo Boost mode.
In order to achieve this speed, MSI has equipped the GT780DX with the company’s exclusive Cooler Boost overclocking heat dispersion system.
According to MSI, this technology enables the fans to work at higher than usual rotation speeds reducing chip temperatures with as much as 10 degrees Centigrade.
Weighing in no less than 3.9Kg, the MSI GT780DX is built around a 17.3-inch LED backlit display that is available in both HD+ (1600x900) and Full HD (1920x1080) resolutions.
Under the hood, Intel’s Sandy Bridge processors are joined by an Nvidia-built GeForce GTX 570M graphics core coupled with 3GB of GDDR5 memory and as much as 16GB of DDR3 system memory.
As far as storage is concerned, the MSI GT780DX can be configured to feature a maximum of two hard drives with a spindle speed of 7200RPM, installed in a RAID 0 configuration, delivering up to 1.5TB of storage space.
A DVD burner also complements the standard version of the GT780DX, but users can also opt for a Blu-ray drive if they so desire.
The rest of the features list includes a LED backlit keyboard developed in collaboration with SteelSeries (which sports quite a great deal of gaming-oriented features), a pair of USB 3.0 ports, eSATA and Bluetooth 3.0 connectivity, HDMI 1.4 and VGA video outputs as well as a 9-cell battery pack.
Sadly, MSI hasn’t provided us with any details regarding the pricing or the availability of the GT780DX. However, we expect this to cost a great deal more than the Core i7 2670QM-equipped base version of the notebook that retails for $1,749.99 (1,296 EUR).
