If you've ever cursed your laptop for being too slow when performing an important or intensive task, imagine what it would be like to work on a beast like the REV-9, the world's first laptop equipped with a 64-core AMD EPYC. CPU and an RTX 4080 desktop graphics card.
REV-9, from the Chinese firm Xinjuneng Technology, is available in two variants, each with a different motherboard: one with an EPYC 7713 CPU based on the Zen 3 architecture, and another with an EPYC 9554 CPU based on Zen 4.
The REV-9 features a 17.3-inch QHD display with a 240Hz refresh rate and 100% sRGB color space. It is also available with a 4K display with a 120Hz refresh rate. A dedicated 3.5-inch display displays system information including temperature, frequency, and power consumption.
Advanced liquid cooling
Server processors, like the one used in the REV-9, are known for their high power consumption, which is why the laptop comes with an advanced liquid cooling system. It uses a non-aqueous electronic fluorinated coolant that is non-conductive, ensuring that any potential leaks do not affect the electronic components.
As you can see in the video of El-P1S Below and pictured above, the REV-9 is far from the most attractive laptop in the world, but its capabilities are undeniable. According El-P1SXinjuneng Technology says that the REV-9 (with the EPYC 7713 processor) scored almost 49,000 points in the Cinebench R23 program.
The company says about its powerful laptop: “The most powerful processor available in laptops (notebooks) is the i9-13980hx, which only has 24 cores. However, our company has developed a 17-inch, 64-core laptop with desktop computer. Level graphics and built-in liquid cooling. Its multi-core performance is more than twice that of the i9 13980hx. The total thickness of the laptop is 4.6 cm, and the main body is only 3.9 cm thick. thickness. It comes with an RTX4080 16G desktop-level graphics card (whose gaming performance surpasses the RTX4090 16G mobile version), providing high performance and exceptional portability.”
Pricing details have not yet been released, but as El-P1S As you point out, the EPYC 9554 CPU alone costs between $7000 and $9000, so the laptop will be very expensive.
However, this is just the beginning. Xinjuneng Technology says it is developing a variety of products, including (but not limited to) a 17-inch, 512-core dual-socket laptop. There's no word on when it will be available, but rest assured we'll cover it when it's available.
