Toshiba Qosmio X870 Packs A Potent Combo
 
When we learned early details about the Qosmio X870 from Toshiba, we took it as a sufficiently impressive combination of "Ivy Bridge" and "GeForce Kepler", without a clue about which exact models they were. DonanimHaber went hands on with one of these beasts and discovered it instead packs top-rate versions of Ivy Bridge and GeForce Fermi...err, right.

The X870 is driven by Core i7-3610QM. This chip is perhaps the most popular Core i7 mobile chip notebook designers will have access to, from the 3rd generation Core processor family. Armed with 4 cores, 8 threads (enabled with HTT), the i7-3610QM has a nominal clock speed of 2.30 GHz, with a Turbo Boost frequency as high as 3.30 GHz. Unlike higher Core i7 Extreme mobile models, its L3 cache is limited to 6 MB. Handling graphics, on the other hand, is the NVIDIA GeForce GT 670M. The GT 670 is based on 40 nm GF114 GPU, and packs 336 CUDA cores, and 2 GB of GDDR5 memory over a 256-bit wide memory interface. Other notable features of the Qosmio X870 include 16 GB of dual-channel DDR3 memory, a 17.3-inch display with 1920x1080 pixels resolution, an SSD holding the OS and programs, and a 2 TB HDD holding data.

probably 2.5-3K in price :(

Why is GT670 GF114... an why not Kepler? All Kepler mobile GPUs have 384 shaders... they should be able to make a highend one too with two SMXs instead of one.

Qosmios are usually 1-1.8k depending on specs. Very decent equipped models tend to be in the 12-1400 range. Maxed RAM, i7s, Bluray...higher end models don't add a ton on top of that.

Yes please just what the doctor ordered, maybe need a bit more juice on the cpu side, at least 2.9ghz but a good start so far.

I think my "dual cpu socket" girlfriends needs something a bit more beefier as a portable entertainment device.

If only it were an acer or MSI, something respectable.

Why isn't Toshiba respectable? I might have the wrong image of course, but most Toshibas I've seen are just ... working and chugging along without problems.

is it true that the gpu consumes the most power in a laptop?
