XMG Reveals 2022 Notebook Roadmap: AMD Ryzen 6000 & Intel ARC Powered Laptops This Year

XMG has announced its new product roadmap for 2022 and revealed to offer brand new AMD Ryzen 6000H & Intel ARC GPU powered notebooks this yr.

XMG 2022 Notebook Roadmap Promises Updated Designs, AMD Ryzen 6000H & Intel ARC GPU Powered Notebooks

Update: XMG has provided an updated argument regarding the roadmap change: 'Nosotros volition have some opportunities to feature Intel Arc Graphics in some future models, but those are still in the planning phase and cannot exist confirmed at this fourth dimension.'

Press Release: XMG starts pre-orders for XMG NEO 15 and Oasis and provides a production roadmap for 2022

At CES 2022, XMG appear the NEO 15, one of the most powerful gaming laptops on the marketplace, which caused a stir with its compatibility with the Oasis external laptop liquid cooling arrangement. Alongside the start of the pre-order phase, the company is now announcing further details and product improvements. Since the gaming laptops with the latest generation of processors and graphics cards will not be released all at once this twelvemonth simply staggered, XMG also provides a preview of the production roadmap for the offset one-half of 2022.

XMG NEO 15 (E22) with 175 watts RTX 3080 Ti and 12th gen Intel Core

When pre-orders beginning, the XMG NEO fifteen (E22) will be available with Intel'southward new Core i7-12700H and three graphics options from NVIDIA, each with maximum TGP: the RTX 3080 Ti with 16 GB GDDR6 VRAM upwardly to 175 watts, the RTX 3070 Ti with up to 150 watts and the RTX 3060, which operates at 140 watts in the current model instead of last year'south 130 watts maximum. Dynamic Boost 2.0 can be deactivated for all GPUs via the XMG Control Center in order to run them constantly at the highest TGP levels.

This makes the 360.2 ten 234.5 x 26.six-millimeter laptop with a weight of 2.2 kg and a fractional aluminum chassis one of the performance leaders in the gaming segment. The predecessor was well known for being able to provide stable, extreme performance over the long term thanks to its powerful cooling organisation. Liquid metallic for CPU cooling and improved fans with 71 instead of 67 fins provide further optimization. With the optional, external XMG Oasis laptop liquid cooling system, the cooling performance can exist further increased while at the same time reducing the operating noise under load.

Upward to 64 GB DDR5-4800, 2 M.two SSDs continued via PCIe 4.0, a 93 Wh battery, and a 280-watt power supply (with RTX 3060: 230 watt) underline the high-end merits of the XMG NEO 15, equally does a 240 Hz fast WQHD IPS display with 95 percent sRGB color space coverage. Compared to the predecessor model, XMG uses a Full Hard disk instead of just an HD webcam and larger speakers for a punchier sound. The optomechanical keyboard with RGB per-cardinal illumination and the Microsoft Precision touchpad are carried over from the previous NEO.

In add-on to 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet, Wi-Fi 6, three USB A 3.2 ports, a total-size SD card reader, and split up audio jacks for headphones and microphone, the NEO xv features two graphics outputs: an HDMI port connected to the dGPU and a Thunderbolt four port with two integrated DisplayPort streams. However, in accordance with Intel'southward design of the Alder Lake mobile platform, the latter is directly linked to the iGPU and thus non VR headset compatible.

XMG Oasis gets various improvements for pre-gild kick-off

At the beginning of the year, the XMG Oasis attracted a lot of attention as an optional, external liquid cooling organisation for the XMG NEO fifteen. The AIO unit packs the radiator, fan, and reservoir into an external chassis and can be hands connected and disconnected from the laptop via a quick-release connector. In dissimilarity to those early production samples, XMG has made quite a few improvements.

The revised reservoir, for instance, now prevents air bubbles from entering the pump for quieter operation, the quick-release connexion is tighter and fits more precisely, and the entire area around the h2o connectors on the laptop features greater stability and is better sealed. The PCB inside the liquid cooler has been optimized to avert electromagnetic noise and the functionality of the Haven has been enhanced with convenient OTA firmware updates. XMG has summarised farther improvements in a news posting on its own website. The accessories supplied include cleaning utensils, a refill funnel and drainage adapter, silicone grit protection caps for the USB-C and HDMI ports on the XMG NEO xv, and one liter of EK CryoFuel Clear cooling liquid.

XMG roadmap 2022: Updates of further model series and AMD Ryzen 6000

In another detailed news posting, XMG has shared an overview of its own product plans for the commencement half of the twelvemonth. The presentation of the 17.3-inch XMG NEO 17 could follow at the cease of the second quarter at the primeval. In addition, the company plans to offer NEO laptops with both the latest Intel and AMD CPUs, as it did with the 2021 model generation. XMG currently expects a generation based on the Ryzen 6000H towards the end of the second quarter at the earliest, just the effective availability date volition exist determined by the availability of the new CPUs.

In contrast to the XMG NEO which is designed for maximum mobile performance, the update of the XMG PRO model series offers a somewhat more balanced concept. The laptops will feature a fundamentally redesigned chassis, which is slightly thicker compared to the very slim predecessor, in render for more performance. The top model will feature an RTX 3080 Ti operating at a TGP of 155 watts (2021 model: max. 105 watts). Compared to the NEO, the new PRO offers slightly more versatile connectivity, including a dedicated Mini DisplayPort directly connected to the dGPU. Due to the expected shortage of DDR5 RAM, XMG is planning the PRO with DDR4 despite the update to twelfth gen Intel Core. The laptops are expected from the stop of the first quarter.

Another highlight is coming with the follow-up to the long-running XMG FUSION 15 from 2019: The upcoming XMG FUSION 16 is fifty-fifty more trimmed for thinness and lightness and will feature a sixteen:10 brandish, amid other things.

In the upper-performance mid-range, represented past the XMG Core with RTX 3060, XMG wants to stick to the dualism of an Intel- and AMD-based model, only like with the NEO, only further details on this program are non expected until the second quarter. The series could too be upgraded with a new magnesium casing to reduce weight.

An update of the Apex model series with Ryzen 6000 CPUs are scheduled for the end of the second and beginning of the third quarter at the earliest. Alongside the NEO, the Apex is planned as the second laptop series with compatibility for the Oasis liquid cooling system. In addition, an as-nonetheless-unspecified XMG FUSION with Intel'south dedicated Arc graphics unit is also casting its shadow.
