14 DAY TRIAL // Since Intel released the new generation of Core processors not long ago, CES was bound to be full of announcement regarding systems based on them, and Origin PC was quick in updating a pair of desktops, as well as two notebooks.
Not long ago, it was revealed that Intel's new CPUs, the Sandy Bridge series of Core i3, Core i5 and Core i7 models, had already scored over 500 design wins.
Sure enough, immediately afterwards, and even before that announcement, various system builders and notebook suppliers announced new PCs powered by them.
Now, Origin PC is making a similar announcement, stating that the Genesis and Big O desktops have been updated with these 2nd Generation Core chips, plus the obligatory P67 motherboards, or will be on January 9.
The company also said that the EON15 and EON17 notebooks will, later this quarter, gain a Sandy bridge processor option.
“The ORIGIN GENESIS built with Intel’s second generation Core i7 Processors is one of the most powerful platforms on the market for gamers, power users, and professionals” said Eric Thompson, Director of North America Channel for Intel Corporation.
"Intel's latest technology delivers gamers and creative professionals a new level of processing power and intuitive convenience" said Kevin Wasielewski, CEO and co-founder of Origin.
"Origin delivers the most aggressive and rock solid overclocking in the industry and we have Intel's Core i7 processors running at over 5GHz while remaining cool and passing every single one of our stability tests,” he added.
“The Intel Core i7 2600K processor is an amazing processor and with Origin's award-winning overclocking our customers will dominate the playing field,” the CEO went on to saying.
“ORIGIN’s GENESIS is powered by ASUS’ P8P67 Motherboard to deliver the best experience for gamers and professionals. Leveraging the motherboard’s onboard DIGI+ VRM and EFI BIOS for accurate performance tuning, ORIGIN is able to overclock next-generation Intel processors to 5GHz and beyond.” said Jerry Dien for ASUS Computers International.
