Notebooks using Iris Pro

[Ice_Dragon]

Anyone using Iris Pro yet? I haven't seen anything. The only machine that I have seen thus far is the 2013 iMac which isn't a notebook, it's an all in one. It's a foregone conclusion I feel that the retina MacBook Pro will use Iris Pro in some way as well. Which others have made announcements besides Apple?

I don't think any are out, the TDP for iris pro may be too high.

The Clevo W740SU is using the Iris Pro. It's a decent looking 14" notebook, but a little pricey for the specs considering you can get a gtx765m in the same price range and similar weight class.

A few brands sell the W740SU, but no major ones. System 76 Galago Ultrapro, XoticPC, CyberPowerPC Hercules, and Mythlogic are a few of the bigger rebrands selling it.

So the Blade/Blade Pro is cheaper?

No, they're not. But I don't understand why you picked the most expensive laptops running a 765m. Plus, the 765m is in a completely different performance class than the Iris pro, the Iris pro is more comparable to a 740m.


You've got the MSI GE60 for $1200.

And the 14" GE40 has a 760m.

You've also got the Clevo W230ST / Sager NP7330 13" notebook starting at $1k.

Going down in price, there's the Lenovo Ideapad Y410p for ~$800 with Geforce GT755M.

You're forgetting that any system with a dedicated GPU also has its own TDP.

Honestly, there's no reason to use Iris Pro for it's GPU performance compared to a similarly priced Nvidia or AMD chip. At least with Haswell, it's mostly about reducing chip package size on the board and cooling requirements so you can fit more battery.

Look for more serious performance gains when Intel has a GPU architecture refresh in Broadwell.
