    The fall refresh is now in progress.

    The stock Intel CPU is going from the i7 3610QM to i7 3630QM in the MSI Gaming notebooks.

    The NVIDIA GTX680M,GTX675M and GTX670M are all changing to MX models.

    The GTX680MX is being made for Apple.

    The GTX675MX and GTX670MX are the result of changing from the Fermi to Kepler architecture.

    The 675M should be better than the 670M just because it's a 675M with more cores, wider memory bus, and higher clock speeds. The amount of memory has little to do with outright performance unless you have a game that uses textures that are ginormous and run at some insane resolution.

    GPUs with 1.5GB and 2GB of VRAM will overclock better than those with 3GB and 4GB.
