First Gaming Laptop Computer Models with 3 NVIDIA GPUs
02.06.09 (10:05 pm) [edit]
The world’s first gaming laptop computer models with 3 graphic processing units from NVIDIA come from Toshiba and are introduced in the Qosmio line as Toshiba Qosmio X305-Q708 and Toshiba Qosmio X305-Q706.
What makes these notebooks the most powerful portable gaming systems are the NVIDIA GeForce 9400M GPU and 2 NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTS GPUs, which allow you to switch between the integrated graphics power of the GeForce 9400M when you need to perform standard operations, and the 2 discrete GeForce 9800M GTS GPUs with NVIDIA SLI technology, in order to enable maximum performance for high-demanding applications such as gaming or professional image processing.
The NVIDIA Hybrid SLI technology permits quieter operations by transferring the graphics processing responsibility to the integrated card, in case you don’t need to perform intensive tasks.
"We wanted to deliver an extreme-performance gaming machine that gives gamers a complete, non-compromising system in a laptop form factor," said Carl Pinto, vice president of product development, digital products division for Toshiba America Information Systems, Inc. "The combination of the NVIDIA GPUs and chipset allowed us to achieve a high level of performance, quality and flexibility that our customers are asking for, at a competitive starting price of $1,999."

The Intel® Celeron® processor 440Δ balances proven technology with exceptional value for embedded computing designs such as print imaging, gaming, interactive clients, and industrial automation. Featuring Intel® Intelligent Power Capability, it supports smaller, quieter, more energy-efficient embedded systems with improved performance over previous Intel Celeron processors.
Manufactured on 65nm process technology, the Intel Celeron processor 440Δ at 2.0 GHz offers 512 KB of L2 cache with a thermal design power (TDP) of 35 watts. Based on a new energy-efficient microarchitecture, this Celeron processor enables smaller and quieter embedded designs. It features Execute Disable Bit° (for built-in security support) as well as Intel® 64 architectureΦ (Intel® 64), enabling applications to access larger amounts of memory when used with appropriate 64-bit supporting hardware and software.
The Intel Celeron processor 440Δ is available in an LGA-775 package with integrated heat spreader. When combined with the Intel® Q35 Express or Intel® Q965 Express chipset, the platform provides exceptional value with mid-range performance and reduced power.

Features and benefits800 MHz front-side bus Provides accelerated access to data from the processor core.
Intel® Wide Dynamic Execution Improves execution speed and efficiency, delivering more instructions per clock cycle.
Intel® Smart Memory Access Optimizes use of data bandwidth from the memory subsystem to accelerate out-of-order execution, keeping the pipeline full while improving instruction throughput and performance. Newly designed prediction mechanism reduces the time in-flight instructions must wait for data. Pre-fetch algorithms move data from system memory into fast L2 cache in advance of execution.
Intel® Advanced Digital Media Boost Accelerates execution of Streaming SIMD Extension (SSE/2/3) instructions to significantly improve media boost performance on a broad range of applications. 128-bit SSE instructions are issued at a throughput rate of one/clock cycle, effectively doubling speed of execution over previous-generation processors.
Execute Disable Bit° Enhances virus protection when deployed with supported operating system. Allows memory to be marked as executable or non-executable, allowing the processor to raise an error to the operating system, thereby preventing malicious code from infecting the system.
Intel® 64 ArchitectureΦ (Intel® 64) Enables access to larger amounts of memory and provides flexibility for 32-bit and 64-bit applications. With appropriate supporting hardware and software, platforms supporting 64-bit computing can use extended virtual and physical memory.
