Transcript
00:01
hey Internet we have a surprise for you
00:04
today if you've been waiting for the
00:06
next-generation XPS 15 we have it right
00:10
here
00:11
wait isn't this just what you think what
00:12
you reviewed yes and actually Adam has
00:14
noted correctly this looks very similar
00:16
to the current generation XPS 15
00:19
aluminum shell carbon fiber rubberized
00:22
deck keyboard that a little little tiny
00:26
keys but still okay the big difference
00:29
although I will say I think this may
00:30
have a fingerprint reader in this model
00:32
I don't know I wasn't on the call today
00:33
but the big deal in this laptop is on
00:37
the screen it just gave it away
00:39
brand-new eighth generation Core i7 CPU
00:43
the difference 6 cores 6 or 6 cores hold
00:49
one hand for course the olden was a
00:51
quad-core KB leg gtx 1050 same this one
00:55
this current one in front of us is if
00:57
you kept some 50 I know these guys
00:59
changing much but what Dell has done is
01:02
shoehorn Intel's brand-new six core 8
01:06
gen CPUs into the same laptop I know you
01:10
don't think that's a big deal but think
01:12
about this this laptop previously topped
01:14
out with a quad core chip 45 watts the
01:18
new 8th gen chip gives you 6 cores at
01:21
the same 45 watt TDP as a previous
01:26
version what does that mean more cores
01:29
faster video encoding faster photo
01:32
editing with photo with optimized apps
01:34
of course and everything that really
01:36
touches all those cores all that
01:38
goodness that you would need on a
01:39
multi-core desktop you can get into a 23
01:42
millimeter thick 15 inch laptop pretty
01:45
impressive so it should somebody get
01:47
this or a MacBook Pro well of course
01:49
let's bring that up this is what I love
01:51
is because when I get this laptop
01:53
I'll see what version of MacBook Pro I
01:56
can lay my hands on and I'm gonna be
01:58
pretty certain this will clean its clock
02:01
in fact the previous XPS 15 already
02:04
clean the clock of the current MacBook
02:05
Pro 15 this one with 6 cores in a GTX 50
02:09
gonna smoke that Mac
02:11
Pro no doubt about that you could like
02:14
write a check send it to me because
02:16
that's gonna be that's guarantee it's
02:19
gonna smoke MacBook Pro 15 with this XPS
02:22
15 everybody knows that I don't care
02:24
what you say Apple may have a new one
02:26
didn't get it today dental has it right
02:28
now in the XP of 15 inside this very one
02:32
although that could change by its ship
02:34
by the time ships is a core i7
02:36
8750 H the H of course means 45 Watts 6
02:40
cores base cloth 2.2 gigahertz turbo
02:44
super-high 4.2 gigahertz that's really
02:47
pushing it and of course 2 point 2 - 4 -
02:50
sounds pretty wide but as we know from
02:52
desktop performance that base 2.2 clock
02:56
is usually worst case scenario if Dell
02:58
is Dennis homework and you're cooling
03:00
the CPU adequately it will run at a lot
03:02
higher clock even under multi-core load
03:04
it all depends on the cooling you put
03:06
inside so we'll see what they do with
03:08
this but I gotta say it's impressive
03:10
we're talking six cores in that 45 watt
03:14
a laptop designed for 45 watts with the
03:16
GTX 1050 it's a really good really good
03:20
package look at that basically same as a
03:22
Corinne XPS 15 so you'll be doing your
03:25
normal testing we will definitely do
03:27
some testing you know of course there
03:28
are some gaming laptops that are a
03:30
little bit bigger that give you
03:32
basically better graphics 10 60 max Q I
03:36
don't know if this is the actual final
03:38
version probably is it'd be interesting
03:40
to see a 10 60 max Q in this laptop
03:43
probably a little too much for it but
03:45
the big deal is if you do your video
03:47
encoding if you do photo editing that is
03:50
optimized for multi-core any of those
03:52
things 3d rendering 6 cores XPS 15
03:56
you're gonna smoke everybody
