Asus Unveils Powerful Core i7-980X CG8490 Desktop PC and G73jh Notebook

At Computex, Asus has revealed the CG8490 desktop PC that's a part of their Republic of Gamers Series. This desktop is going to be packing an Intel Core i7-920X six-core CPU, up to 12GB of RAM, and the Radeon HD5870 GPU. This desktop PC hasn't been priced or dated yet so we'll have to wait a bit longer for that. The other two notebooks spotted is the G53 (covered here) and the G73jh. The G73jh notebook packs a 1080p Full HD 3D-capable display. This notebook should be packing the HD5870 GPU as well - that's what it said when it leaked way back in February. Of course, the price and dates weren't revealed.

Update: Newegg has the G73JH-X1 notebook with an Intel Core i7-720QM CPU and the ATI Radeon HD 5870 GPU going for $1,549.99 right now so check it out if you're interested.
