◇ Acer, ‘Predator Helios’ premium gaming laptop

Acer announced that it will introduce a new premium gaming laptop ‘Predator Helios’ with Intel’s 13th generation CPU and Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 40 series at Lotte Himart. This new product will be presented in 16-inch (PH16-71) and 18-inch (PH18-71).

These products are powered by the latest 13th generation Intel Core processors, allowing you to enjoy immersive entertainment without interruption while multitasking through improved performance. The latest GeForce RTX 40 series GPUs with NVIDIA Ada Lovelace architecture provide the best performance and graphics quality through AI technology.

Faster data processing is possible with up to 32GB of DDR5 memory and PCIe Gen.4 SSD, and NVIDIA Advanced Optimus technology that switches the use of internal / external graphics cards without rebooting helps to use battery efficiently.

The 16-inch and 18-inch models feature high-resolution WQXGA (2560 × 1600) IPS displays with a 16:10 aspect ratio. It supports a high refresh rate of up to 240Hz, a 100% DCI-P3 color gamut, and up to 500 nits of brightness to realize rich and vivid colors.

The thermal solution was also upgraded. Specially designed dual 5th generation AeroBlade 3D metal fans and rectangular vector heat pipes improve cooling performance by 9%, and the addition of liquid metal thermal grease further improves temperature control technology. The authentic color of the matte black, thinner bezel, and sharp edges further enhance the powerful technology of Helios, and design elements such as the installation of an RGB light bar to adjust the rear exhaust vent to the desired color have been strengthened.

To commemorate the launch of the new product, a pre-sale event will also be held for the double RAM upgrade. Predator Helios 16 (model names PH16-71-97Z8, PH16-71-90NK) or Predator Helios 18 (model names PH18-71-99N8, PH18-71-9163, PH18-71-95ML, PH18) via Hi-Mart until the 12th. -71-9005) is provided with event benefits only. In addition, a photo product review event will be held during this event to provide special prizes.

◇ JC Hyun, AMD Ryzen 7000X3D series CPU

JC Hyun System announced that it will officially launch two types of AMD Ryzen 7000X3D series (codename: Raphael, Raphael) in Korea. AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D and AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D processors show powerful gaming performance with up to 29% improved single-core performance, 13% increased IPC, and more cache memory through a 5-nanometer (nm) microprocessor, and are on available on AM5 socket-based platforms

These processors not only show more powerful gaming performance with 3D V-Cache technology and up to 16 high-performance cores, but also show excellent performance in tasks such as video editing as well as games and high definition broadcasting with one a personal computer. It also supports PCIe 5.0 interface for next-generation standard storage and graphics card support.

The built-in graphics card has AMD Radeon graphics based on the RDNA2 architecture operating at up to 2200 MHz on the input / output die, so it can be used immediately without separate external graphics in an environment where graphics performance is not required very external. . It also offers video encoding and decoding, including VP9 and AV1, for up to 50% higher bit rate efficiency.

◇ Emtek, GeForce RTX 4070 Ti series GAMEROCK D6X 12GB

Emtek Inc. announced that it will release Emtek GeForce RTX 4070 Ti GAMEROCK OC D6X 12GB graphics card. Emtek GeForce RTX 4070 Ti GAMEROCK OC D6X 12GB raised the boost clock to 2775 MHz, raising the performance of the graphics card to the maximum. In order to achieve this performance effectively, the efficiency of ventilation and heat dissipation was increased by extending the range by applying a cutout located on the back plate of the graphics card.

In addition, it has a cooling system such as a 90mm triple wind hunter fan, a Y-formula fin, a honeycomb bracket, and a large air hole to reduce performance degradation due to the overload caused by the heat of the GPU. In addition, it supports the 0-dB fan function that operates smartly according to the GPU, memory temperature and power consumption of the graphics card, making the gamer environment even more comfortable.

The front exterior is reminiscent of a number of stars scattered in the night sky, and has a unique design in harmony with ARGB LEDs. The rear part is applied with an aluminum alloy backplate with a cutout to reliably protect internal parts with excellent ventilation efficiency and heat dissipation, and the glass highlights on the surface add to the sparkling beauty. ARGB on the front and side supports up to 11 LED modes via Thunder Master software.
