Workstation graphics on the go.
While most professional 3D work is done on desktops, there are times when it has to be taken on the road. For those times, AMD and Dell have equipped the Dell Precision M6400 workstation laptop with the ATI FirePro M7740 graphics accelerator.
With the FirePro M7740, the Precision M6400 supports Microsoft Direct X- or OpenGL-based applications and qualifies for over 90 certifications confirmed by application providers such as Autodesk and Dassault Systèmes.
"AMD knows that flawless execution and best-in-class performance is a priority for professionals who rely on workstations for their livelihood," said Janet Matsuda, senior director, AMD Professional Graphics. "The Dell Precision M6400 utilizes the ATI FirePro M7740’s powerful GPU and 1GB frame buffer, to help accelerate software applications and improve productivity, while giving professionals the assurance of superior reliability that comes with having certified drivers and professional-grade ATI FirePro hardware."
ATI FirePro M7740 3D accelerators are available this month with the Dell Precision M6400 workstations.

how many certs do normal gpus (ie 8800mgts or gtx295) pass? just curious if anyone knows...
But can it play Crysis? Sorry, I had to do it
Battery life anyone?

Anyway I guess it's good for auto cad designers and the like who need to showcase something they have done without lugging around their workstation or worrying about the capabilities of machines at their destination.
Typically you have to get into the business graphics to get program certification. The FireGL or Quadro lines in other words.
I've got 2 Precision M's, an older M90 (4GB, 2.3GHZ Core Duo, QuadroFX 2500M) that I've just replaced with an M6300 (8GB, Core2 X7900, QuadroFX 3600).
As 3d workstations however... they perform as well as most desktops. I use them for Solidworks/Rapidform and misc. Graphics work, even the M90 is very snappy with 3d visualization workflows.
They're great laptops but heavy and expensive... not really something you'd want to buy unless you had a business purpose for it, there are better gaming rigs out there for a lot less money. (both those systems listed in the $4k range)
Never tried to play Crysis, but they tend to have problems with demanding 3d games because the drivers are not really intended for gaming. I have had some luck with them (Bioshock ran great on the M90, Oblivion also IIRC)... but support is spotty at best for games.
I also seriously doubt that the battery life with a graphics card like this will last long.
Although it doesn't really look like a graphics card for mobile with it's PCIE bus (not mini PCIE), and without cooling fan...
that is actually a mxm 3.0 slot, think PCI-e x16 for notebook
That's amazing! I wonder if this will be for e-tail?
Although it doesn't really look like a graphics card for mobile with it's PCIE bus (not mini PCIE), and without cooling fan...
Its just a demo photo. Look a little closer and notice the 6 holes in the pcb for cooling installation. Use your brain man, there isn't even a heat spreader on the chip for crying out loud.
Cool.
Too bad though, dude, it's a Dell (and thus I refuse to touch it).
Battery life is not good on these machines (1-2 hours per battery, I have 2 for each machine)... but they're not really road warrior machines (way too bulky and heavy). I think of them as site machines... you can take one to a remote site, plug it in and have all your apps on tap with enough horsepower to run them quite respectably.
