Precision 7730,5530,7530 (Coffee Lake) pre-release

With coffee lake chips scheduled to be released next week, does anyone have info on when should we expect new lineup of Precision laptops (xx30?)

@Dell-Mano_G could you share any info perhaps? Upgrade now or wait?
Also any info on whether new keyboard made it into xx30 gen?

I think that you're a bit early, here... Next week's CPU releases are only desktop CPUs. I haven't seen any specifics on when the mobile CPUs will be available.

I think that a reasonable expectation would be to see the mobile CPUs trickle onto the market in time to hit the holiday shopping season. Usually, this starts out with a select number of lower-powered mobile CPUs, and that's probably all that we'll see this year. The Precision line is always among the last to be refreshed by Dell, and it requires the high-performance chips, including Xeons, to be available. I'd be pretty shocked if we hear anything about the next generation of Previsions before January, but I wouldn't be surprised if we have to wait until more like March/April.

 

Coffee Lake update aside, what I am really hoping for is a re-designed VRM thermal management solution.

 

I don't think I'll be too excited by it. It is still the same architecture underneath really. And the desktop ones only are offering a moderate improvement in performance over their current generation. I would only consider replacing my 7700k machine now because of the added cores which will help with encoding speeds.

 

New XPS 15 released at CES, but no sights of new Precision so far

That new XPS15 keyboard includes dedicated PgUp and PgDn keys. I would hope that this improvement will carry through to the 5530.

Any word on VRM design and cooling?

 

performance affected by spectre, might as well wait for coffee lake-s or ice lake.

 

So new XPS 15 is out in few weeks with i9, 6-core H CPU.

Is there anything, that theoretically prevents Dell from releasing new Precision line up? Waiting for Volta?

 

Let the 7730 come and please keep the E-Port dock.
