If the basics of the MSI GX 60 are AMD A10 fusion chip plus AMD
Radeon HD 7970M graphics, how do the details stack up?  The A10
chip is the top spec 4600M, as you'd expect. So that's four AMD-
style CPU cores or two AMD modules humming a 2.3GHz tune as
standard with a top Turbo frequnecy of 3.2GHz.  Each module
contains two integer units but a single floating point unit. Is
it really a quad-core chip? Probably not. But it's more than a
dual-core processor, too.  The AMD A10 4600M also sports an
integrated AMD Radeon HD 7660G graphics unit with 384 shader
cores. But the real graphics grunt is provided by the dedicated
Radeon HD 7970M chip and its 1,280 shaders, 850MHz clock speed
and 256-bit memory bus.   It's a bit of a beast and it makes for
an interesting alternative to the the NVIDIA GeForce GTX-powered
laptops on the market, including the aforementioned PC
Specialist Vortex III 680, Samsung Series 7 Gamer and Toshiba's
Qosmio X870.  If that makes for a tasty mix, there's more spice
