MSI Teases Evoke Line of Notebooks for Creators

btarunr · Dec 26, 2019

MSI debuted the Evoke brand of hardware targeted at creators, with its Radeon RX 5700-series Evoke graphics cards. The company is now planning to extend the brand to a range of other products, beginning with notebooks. The company teased the design of what's allegedly the first Evoke branded notebook, which ships with a minimalist and durable design, and hardware tailored for content-creation applications. The company didn't tease its specs, but you can expect anything from Intel's 10th gen "Comet Lake-H" to AMD's Ryzen 4000 "Renoir" processors, and discrete graphics options that include RX 5500M "Navi" or even Max-Q RTX 20-series. Some of the higher trims could even leverage fast NVMe storage. MSI is expected to launch its Evolve notebooks on 7th January, 2020.

Chaitanya · Dec 26, 2019

HwGeek · Dec 26, 2019

I think they are hinting its gonna have 12c/24t AMD CPU .
They got new page up-guess the pass:

I was expecting more of a biblical answer to that...

Maybe it's going to feature a 22c/44t cpu, would explain the solution.

Just found out the password is just "gaming", it is just the letters lighted up in the background picture.
And also it just leads to a countdown timer.

Possibly MSI's upcoming GS66 Gaming laptops based on AMD's newest hardware. Nothing too flashy

Probably 66 compute units, and 66 * 64 is 4224 cores... big Navi?

This isn't that complicated, hand on heart. There is a laptop in this picture. if the engraved logo didn't give it away, the glasses and coffee pretty much do.

MSI had a GT63 model, they had a GS65, they will possibly have something-something 66.
I'd be surprised if its not something based on new Ryzen chips.

Almost surely just a subsequent model name as @dj-electric suggested.

The announcement @btarunr is writing about is for the "Content Creation" lineup.
MSI has 3 product series in it: Creator, Prestige and Modern.

Prestige and Modern have already been updated to Intel 10th gen (and to black exterior).

MSI already confirmed an updated Creator 17 (the "big" model) will be shown at CES.

This makes the P65 (also from "Creator") the last model to be updated.

New Prestige and Modern laptops got a black exterior. The picture suggest P66 will get that as well.

This has nothing to do with upcoming announcements in their gaming lineup (i.e. the Evolve website).

Hmm... prepare to be surprised.
