On Location At AMD's 2012 ExtravaLANza Event

[Marcus Yam]

AMD opened up the doors of its Markham, Ontario office to host a gaming event, and we sent our crew from Toronto to see what the ExtravaLANza was all about. From tournaments, to building, to giveaways, our team captured the action.

GX60 has an A10-4600M and a 7970M? That's going to be an interesting combo.

7970M and a 4600M will be VERY interesting. :S
Hopefully in a good way considering the CPU is pretty damn weak.

That Sapphire Mini APU computer looks SWEET. I could imagine something like w/ Kaveri. Would be an amazing portable gaming system.

with the 7970m being the cheaper high end gpu of the two with power similar to a desktop maybe like 660, along with a a10-4600m which is probably similar to a dual core i-series but probably cheaper would probably make it a pretty good budget oriented high end laptop I would think. Its more or less moving the cost of a i7 cpu to fund the more important gpu for gaming purposes on a laptop. Depending on its price, It may be able to shove around alot of laptop recommendations.

I don't think that is braided tubing that is just an acrylic detail inside of that res.

I wish there were more pictures or some video.

Far cry picture sure has a super realistic shoulder and head. The photographer got the right angle.

CS:GO in pic 5.

Looks fun, but am I the only one who thinks "Never settle" isn't a good slogan for AMD right now, when their CPU-line is basically all about it?

In image 3 there's a white desktop computer with green light - is that an off the shelf product? looks cool when compared to the 'standard black' stuff. Black's the new biege.

We're pretty sure this can play Crysis.[/citation]

Not without a heatsink for the CPU it won't!

 

[falchard]

Surprised at all the Intel mobos and nVidia graphics cards at an AMD Extravaganza.

Most likely Newegg when its released. I think it might still be some time. It looks like AMD did not include MSI in its first batch of Trinity Processors. Also such a system is sure to have driver issues that have to worked out.

Nice! We have a little news team in TO so there was no way we'd miss the AMD event.

Picture 6 of 10 is a liquid cooling reservoir, not braided cables. Fail!

the word cables wasnt even used. it says tubing, which is usually only used when watercooling is involved.

The custom ruby rig was excellent as was the very clean rig with the white wc piping in it.

I took those! I was the chick in the Aperture tshirt trying to be sneaky about using my flash while people were trying to play... Sorry about that. Thanks for indulging me and my camera!
