Dell is to release a new laptop aimed at hardcore gamers, the Alienware M14x R2. The release date seems to be timed to coincide with the launch of Intel’s next-gen 22nm Ivy Bridge processors. The Ivy Bridge architecture is the first to employ tri-gate transistors, which help reduce power consumption. Ivy Bridge also features Intel HD graphics, 4K video playback, PCI-E support, and support for 2800MT/s RAM. The new processor should deliver around 20% better CPU performance, coupled with a 30% improvement in GPU performance.

Aside from the new Intel processor, the Dell Alienware M14x R2 notebook can be configured with either an AMD Radeon HD 7970M discrete graphics card, or for NVidia fans buyers can choose between GeForce GTX 660M or GeForce GTX 675M cards. The chassis will be offered in either red or black, although exact details of price and availability have not yet been released.
