11" notebook with 35w TDP, possible?

[enewmen]

Hi all.

Have you seen a 11" notebook (ANY) with a 35w TDP (CPU and GPU), possible?

Asking becasue the Llano will be out soon. It will be awesome if it can be stuffed in this size form factor. That will be a whole lot of muscle in a small package!

thanks!

Hello enewmen;

How about 11" notebook with 18w TDP CPU/GPU?
Acer Aspire TimelineX AS1830T Core i5-470UM ULV CPU.
You can also get a Core i7 680UM model that's also 18w TDP.

Rumor is Intel has a few CULV Sandy Bridge mobile CPUs (xxx7 models TDP 25w-17w) due out shortly after Llano arrives.

Thanks for the post!
From reading it, it seems 35w in a 11" package just isn't possible. The best I can hope for is 25w. I think I need to wait another generation to get the kind of performance I'm looking for in 18w.
Anyone else agree??

Just don't think Ivy Bridge or even Haswell mobile CPUs can have Radeon HD 6670 480:24:8 power GPUs at 18w. Hope I'm wrong..

Are you looking for a 11" gaming laptop.
HD 6670 is far more GPU than you'd need in a general purpose / entertainment laptop.

Yes, it will be a 11" gaming laptop. I will also do real work it: photoshop, visual studio, SQL Server (developer), video transcoding, office, etc etc.

I'm guessing you're hoping they'll put a A8-3500M / HD 6620 in a 11" together with a HD 6770M for hybrid crossfire? Sort of a Dell/Alienware MX11 on the cheap.

They could engineer a bigger chassis and a beefier cooling solution. There is no technical reason they couldn't do that but it's not the type of thing you find in your average mainstream sub-notebook.

Actually I'm looking for something a little more simple. Just a 11" A8-3500M will do nicely since it has near 6670 type performace already.
The MX11 is very close to what I'm looking for
Is there any 2011 version in the works using Sandy-Bridge or Ivy Bridge and an updated video-card ??
For now it seems only Alienware can make this kind of notebook.

[EDIT]
My mistake, the MX11x is already updated with a i7-2617M and GeForce GT 540M..

Any comments before I select a best answer (the best way I can say THANKS for the help!)?

I think there's going to be a bigger gap in gaming performance between the HD 6620G and HD 6770M than you realize or can estimate from the appearance of the naming scheme.

We know from that the Radeon HD 6770M trades blows with the Geforce GT 555M and runs roughly on par with a desktop Radeon HD 5670.
If you look at the Class listings to the right of the review you'll where it breaks out among other laptop cards with a few desktop cards thrown in for comparison.

What Notebookcheck.net estimates the Radeon HD 6620G is going to line up a couple notches below the HD 6770M. Roughly on par with the Mobility Radeon HD 4650, Geforce GT 335M or a desktop GT 220 card. It's going to run games of course. Current FPS on medium for fluid play that serious gamers expect. Some high graphics settings for casual gamers.

I WAS going to wait until the A8-3500M comes out and see if there will be any 11" version.

The thread is actually about getting 35w inside 11" and the MX11x seems to run at 65w which is way above what I was looking for.
Since the MX11x also gets great battery life and has more muscle than a 35w/Llano based small notebook can hope for, I'll just get tthe MX11x then,

thanks
