Dell Precision 7560 & Precision 7760 pre-release discussion

This PDF took forever to load, wow.

But looks like our wishlists here were largely overlooked—not that I was expecting them to change so much in just one generation anyway. Hopefully we get some more information from the Dell rep.

 

I wonder how the cooling will be on the xx60 models?

 

These guys appear to have basically posted the spec sheets for the new systems.

Seems to confirm PCIe4 NVMe drive compatibility. Full list of available CPUs is included, two Xeon options. 7560 has an 800 nits display option? (Seems like a typo maybe.) Power adapters are still 180W/240W.

Xeon W-11955M appears to be spec'ed the same as the Core i9-11950H (...but with ECC memory support), as you would expect. Xeon W-11855M is just six cores, but clocked a bit faster than the Core i7-11600H.

[Edit]
NVIDIA driver posted today supports the RTX A-series laptop GPUs.

@Aaron44126, yes I'm available for questions.

 

* Are you able to disclose when the systems will be available for order?
* Is there a full spec sheet available?
* Is it the case that only NVIDIA GPUs are available as discrete GPUs for this generation? (No AMD?)
* What is Dell's power limit for the NVIDIA GPUs in the Precision 7560 and 7760? (NVIDIA's spec sheet shows that they are now pushing over the 110W limit from the past few generations...)
* Is there any change to the display panels that are available to choose from, compared to the prior generation?
* Since Tiger Lake H sports 20 PCIe4 lanes, how are these allocated? (I am assuming 16 go to the dGPU... Is there a single PCIe4-enabled NVMe slot?)
* Are there any improvements from the Precision 7X50 systems, other than the refreshed CPU and GPU choices, that you would like to point out?

Thank you.

Looking to pick up three or four Precision 7560's for the office as soon as they are available. (Waiting one more year to replace my aging Precision M6700 home/personal system, I think...)

 

@Aaron44126, my response below in order.
1. Currently, I can only say that the xx60's will be available soon.
2. The full spec sheets for the new systems should already be available on a Dell site.
3. Correct, only NVIDIA GPU's are going to be available on this generation of mobile workstations, no AMD GPU's.
4. 7560 will support up to 90W and the 7760 will support up to 115W.
5. Both the 5560 & 5760 have new UHD+ panels with 100% Adobe and 99% DCI-P3 color gamut on the same panel. The 7560 will have the UHD HDR600 panel this year, we didn't launch it last year. The 7760 has a new UHD HDR400 120Hz panel this year.
6. The 5560 & 5760 both have 2 x PCIe Gen 4 storage slots. Max storage on the 5760 is 8TB. You are correct on the 7 series. The 7560 has max storage of 12TB with 1 Gen 4 slot under the quick access door, and the 7760 has max storage of 14TB with 1 Gen 4 slot in the same location.
7. There are tons of improvements. Other then the chassis, there is almost nothing carried over.
I will say one more thing, the pricing you are seeing today on the 7550/7750 RTX 4000 & RTX 5000 will not carry over to the 7x60's.

 

Can't wait to check the systems out... Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions.
17" 120Hz UHD panel is something that I did not expect and a very welcome addition.
I hope that maybe you will remember to drop us a line once the release date can be made public

 

Very nice! Any chance of bringing higher refresh rates to the 7560, too? Otherwise, same as @Aaron44126: looking forward to when these new notebooks drop.

 

Sorry but I'm not going to be able to get that done for the 7560.

 

A couple of questions:

1. Will there still be an iGPU only option on the 7560/7760?
2. Will the keyboard for those models have dedicated page up and page down keys?

Thanks!
