it would certainly seem that way is how intel wanted it to be however with actual results i think otherwise. though i can't say for 100% certain cause what i use to compare was 3770k and 3940xm and that was 4 generation ago, both use very similar amount of power at similar frequency. at high clocked, which ever used less voltage came out on top and its only natural.
thats interesting to know, since i dont follow much on GPU as you can see i only see CPU side of things, mobile up until haswell generation and desktop till recent.

the comparison for skylake, intel wanted to restrict mobile overclocking by using power throttling, because they know for a fact that they are giving crap quality silicon and knows what happens when clocked high, it'll just overheat like crazy, low frequency requires higher voltage thats just what it is. the original 45w is meant to restrict overclocking and only turbo boost for a short time, however with 6820hk is probably one of the few chip thats different and had it removed.
intel does its TDP isn't how its heat dissipation/power measured, i dont look at that much at all as ultimately each chip power consumption is different based on it's quality of silicon. -
Few questions about this Laptop:
1)Do we know how many M.2 Slots and 2.5" hdd Slots will the Laptop have ? What is the Maximum allowed thicknes for the 2.5" Slot. With a Laptop this big they had better Support 15mm z hight drive (there a seagate 4tb hdd in this Format)
2)Do we have any Pictures of the internals ?
3)Are the Video Cards MXM and upgradeble, or are they custom Format and non upgradeble
4)Am i getting this correctly ? Is the CPU soldered on the Motherboard ? I guess it wont matter anyways, since ist one of the best the chipsets supports.
Ist a dame shame they didnt build a HEDT LGA 20013 platform. They probably could have gotten away cooling the 130W CPU alsoole!!! likes this. -

Hi Bytales,
For now, we still do not have the notebooks in hand, but it shouldn't be too much longer. Watch for Ken to post a video review, which should answer most of your questions, and this should be a clue to when shipping will start.

Also, your name was mention there by an MSI staff member.. Nice going.

Hey John,
As to the size, it about the same as the GT80S..... just a little thicker, right? -

This interesting to me also. In my country there is no chance to sell my GT80S 6QF, no one here wants to spend more than 1000 euro for a laptop, let alone "only" 4k or less.
I am seeking a way to get rid of it and be able to start a new life with a desktop one, away from msi. -
2. im still waiting just like u
3. hopefully yes
4. cpu is soldered to the motherboard, it'd be nice if they decide a lga2011 cpu in it, though thats getting phased out i think starting from skylake-E its gonna be LGA2066 while xeon counter part with 6 channel memory will be more than 3000+ pins. -
ok so i am looking at buying a gt83 is the 1080 and the locked cpu worth 1000 dollars or should i buy the 1070 version?
Also can some one recommend some displays for use with the gt83vr?Last edited: Aug 22, 2016 -
i am trying to get my head around why these sku's are setup this way as well... so i might as well ask
as noted the sli-069 comes with the i7 6820 hk - (unlocked multiplier) while the sli-024 comes with 6920hq (200 mhz faster but locked multiplier) ..the other difference seems to be 2*230 watte bricks for the 6820hk.... but 2*330 watt bricks for the 6920hq. 6920hq comes with 2400 speed drr, versus 2133 speed for the 6820....2 year warranty for the 6920, 1 year warranty for the 6820..
so it seams the cpu that overclocks via multiplier gets slower ram and smaller power bricks? can someone explain to me why this makes sense?
https://us.msi.com/pdf/nb/GT83VR TITAN SLI-024.pdf
https://us.msi.com/pdf/nb/GT83VR Titan SLI-069.pdf
to confuse things further Newegg lists both skus as having 330 watt bricks....
so which is it and why is the overclockable cpu cheaper? i am missing some factor? -

nice... so GT73 and GT83 still use MXM afterall...
-
Yes, they stayed with MXM, it's just that the shapes may have change a bit from the 980N's. And some of the component placements as well.

You know I'm going to want a few bench marks out of you at higher than stock right. Just keep that in mind.

Don't buy MSI. Look what happen on gt80 where the commitment to upgrades is not kept!!!! Be aware before invest 5000 usd/€

Well, @-=$tR|k3r=- will be the first to tell you that bench marking comes last on his list. So that 4.4 ghz over clock may take a bit.

You know darn well that the MSI promised upgrade of 2 generations of MXM GPU's started with Pascal.
MSI never made an upgrade kit within Maxwell for Maxwell GPU owners, there wasn't an upgrade kit from 970m to 980m, or 980m to 980. People asked MSI about this and MSI said upgrade kits will start with Pascal the next generation of GPU's from Nvidia.
There weren't any upgrade kits except for pre-980m to 980m.
MSI totally left us high and dry without any of the promised upgrades.
Update: MSI has announced a trade-in program for GT72/GT80 owners:

We are waiting, for the time being, until MSI comes with news regarding upgrade kits for us. As of right now we have sent messages, and made contact through various media. We know they have read our messages and all, so it is a matter of time I guess. We just have to be consistent, patient and not let go of the situation.ole!!! likes this. -
980m/970m/965m => Pascal
Pascal => ?
Kepler wasn't involved in the GT80.
And, MSI has already blown it, they have told people to forget upgrades, and buy a new Pascal laptop.
If MSI intended on providing upgrade kits they would have a plan in place to tell people, not tell them to buy a new Pascal laptop instead.
If MSI pulls out an upgrade kit, I am ready to reconsider.
For now, MSI is dead to me.
Please correct your misconceptionszziplex likes this. -
That's why I said that the original GT72 was the one that launched the upgrade kit idea. After that happened ,GT72 and GT80 were both then promised upgrades, but this was a future event.

I made the mistake of saying "We" on my post. I can't speak for you and you are very right to consider MSI "dead" to you. That's not how i feel at all and I will refrain to pretend others feel like me. I will wait until an official answer and will keep pushing for information.

GT72's may be another story, but I don't know if the "2 generations" talk started with the 880 upgrade - I think that promise / proclimation came out with the 980m laptops.
The same Maxwell => Pascal => ? 2 Generation promise applies to the GT72 series that shipped with the 980m/970m/965m series.
Thanks for the details, I did enjoy them -
gt80 is capable of taking in 980m but since i dont own it i donno if it can take 980, iirc gt80/80s would be very similar.
its strange how u'd consider people think they got cheated and lost money but when intel pull stupid stunt like selling crappy silicon u'd consider it as buying a non overheating product lol, again different opinion, its not good to assume i am making fun of people.Last edited: Aug 25, 2016 -
