HP's disregard for Intel's officially scheduled Sandy Bridge launch
continues today, with the news that Singaporean malls are already
stocking Pavilion dv6 laptops with the new Core i7 silicon lurking
within. It's the same quad-core i7-2630QM chip that popped up on a dv7
spec sheet not too long ago -- it runs at 2GHz by default, but dynamic
overclocking and disabling of cores can take that up to the 2.8GHz
mark. Keeping it company inside HP's 15.6-inch laptop are 4GB of RAM
and AMD's Radeon HD 6570M GPU. The entire machine is described as
indistinguishable, in terms of construction, from HP's current crop of
dv6s, leaving the precious internals to justify a price of 1,899
Singapore dollars (about $1,460).
