Alienware would use AMD, Intel, or Nvidia in its gaming PCs but it’s all “about timing”
The Alienware m15 and m17 laptops led the charge for us gamers over at Dell’s Computex event today, with the XPS 13 2-in-1 powered by Intel Ice Lake U taking centre stage for everyone else. But seeing as AMD also just dropped the biggest announcement in gaming this year, the event also seemed like the perfect time to pry into Alienware’s gooey extraterrestrial centre and find out if it was hopping on the AMD hype train like everyone else.
Now there’s not much hope of Alienware’s latest thin and light m15 and m17 laptops receiving a red team transplant anytime soon - these wee laptops just don’t have the space to spare.
But Alienware is also a purveyor of desktop rigs, and even one sizable desktop replacement laptop with a fully-fledged desktop processor inside. These are all currently powered by Intel’s finest desktop processors, however, we know from talking to Alienware boss Frank Azor last year that the company wants to chase the best performance available - whoever that tech may come from.
