HP EliteBook 8740w specs begin to take shape, ATI FirePro M7820 revealed


You’ve been wondering, we know, why the newly unveiled 2540p and 2740p EliteBooks from HP weren’t accompanied by their heavyweight compadre, the 8740w , but as it turns out the latter might be taking a bit longer to launch due to its inclusion of ATI’s as yet unannounced FirePro M7820 GPU. Joining up with the earlier leaked M5800 , this is likely to form the backbone of ATI’s pro graphics refresh, with its innards based on the successful HD 5870 , meaning it offers DirectX 11 functionality, 1GB of GDDR5 memory, and probably the most graphical horsepower your lap has ever seen. This is aided by the low-voltage, but highly potent Core i7-720QM CPU and four DDR3 slots for up to 16GB of RAM on the 8740w. You have until the end of the month to figure out what to do with all that power, which is when the rumormongers expect this machine to be announced.
