i encode and process video in HD for about 6-8 hrs a day, surely i would take on the multi threaded CPU. oh and trust me i know that stuff, since i am using 2960xm at 4.1ghz on all 8 threads at the moment and i only wish it could go faster. (reason i dont run it on 4.5ghz like how i posted b4?, cause im a pussy and dont wanna risk my CPU, and i suck at overclocking) this also includes 3D and CAD rendering for my university work as well, and brag rights. speaking of which, 3940xm is out on notebookcheck.pl release date is said to be OCT 1st.. kind of late, could probably just wait for Sandy E, or IVY E, or haswell mobile extreme cpu..

so apparently this refresh will take place during sept to november this year, and that seem to be when Sandy E 3980x will be coming out, late this year. depending on if 3980x will have 8 cores 16 threads, i might end up going for a sagers laptop.

that is not necessary true, but if you dont follow laptops then it makes sense. the technologies nowadays in laptop is amazing. last year's sandy bridge mobile extreme processor 2.7ghz, i7 2960xm is proven and able to OC to 4.5ghz on all 4 cores/8 threads on 24/7 with stable temperature. there are many who are able to push to 4.8-5.0 but results in BSOD as well as throttle/shutdown etc, but all in all 4.5ghz is the stable speed and think about that speed at 24 hrs/day 7 days/week at acceptable temperature. and heck, it sure beats the desktop extreme processor i7 3960x a stock speed hands down. anyway, anyone know the release date of this 3940xm? probably will get myself an alienware m18xr2 when this is released, along with 680m SLi (equivalent to desktop GTX 670 SLi but clocked lower)

the 3940xm seems to be true, however there will NOT be a 3960xm. if you type in 3960xm and search on google, it'll probably show up something like 6 cores 3.3ghz in a SAGERs laptop. and do know that these flagship sagers laptop uses DESKTOP CPU so they are NOT 3960XM in fact its actually 3960X. and yes, those guys who said they are 3960xm are wrong and not knowing much or made a mistake just because a desktop processor in a laptop doesnt mean CPU has changed from a X to XM.
