Nvidia's first Arm APU is said to offer Strix Halo and RTX 4070 mobile performance, with Alienware already onboard to create an all-Nvidia gaming laptop (www.pcgamer.com)

Interesting. I could see this being great in a steam deck type of form factor if the performance per watt is good

Well, the article is talking 65 and 80w, so uh, that's probably sadly not where these will end up.

There's a big gap between the 15w tdp on the steam deck and either of those numbers, especially in battery life (unless measuring battery life in minutes) and the fact that 80w in a steam deck would be less gaming console and more portable burn generator.

For laptops, though, yeah, that's looks pretty remarkable given that roughly equivalent laptops now use quite a lot more than 65w for that alleged performance.

Yeah def spoke too soon. Thats what I get for commenting before reading the damn article. Still, I’m enjoying witnessing what feels to be an inflection point for mobile chipsets.

For sure. It's nice that low-ish power CPUs with iGPUs went from 'roughly a box of melted crayons' to 'competitive with current-gen graphics' in what, like 2-3 years?

And, of course, there's no reason Nvidia couldn't make a 15w variant later either since it looks like both AMD and Intel have CPUs competitive in that space now, rather than it just being a one-off design like the Steam Deck's APU is.
