If you are looking for the most performance in a mobile form factor, then it doesn't get much better than Eurocom’s new Phantom-i7 notebook. The workstation will be come with a Core i7 Extreme processor and an as-of-yet unannounced Core i7-based Xeon X5580 processor. The machine will have up to 12 GB of memory at first, and up to 24 GB later this year as well as up to four hard drives. Given the weight and capabilities of the notebook, the promised battery time of 60 minutes isn't bad.At the heart of the system is either a Core i7-940 or 965 Extreme processor, or a not-yet-announced Xeon X5580 (3.2 GHz) CPU. The 17” (1600 x 1050 pixel) system will support up to four hard drives (2 TB combined) in RAID 0,1,5 configuration -- though initial systems will be limited to three HDDs and 1.5 TB. Other hardware includes a triple-channel memory design with up to 12 GB of memory (4 GB per channel) and up to 24 GB when 8 GB modules will be more common later this year. The Phantom-i7 comes with only one graphics chip, either a 1 GB Nvidia GeForce Go GTX 280M or Quadro FX3700M, and does not have a separate low-power graphics unit which takes over when high-end or 3D is not required. This will also lend a significant amount of GPU computing to the system for number-crunching apps.{Courtesy;TGdaily & AnandTech}
