Be interesting to see just how much these are basically AI accelerators in disguise, which accidentally do gaming too.
Expecting a 5090 that’s even more expensive than the 4090 and still sold out for 6 months.
As a laptop user it would be nice to go from 8GB vram in my 3070ti to something like 16gb, but I wonder what insane power requirements even the mobile parts will have.
A 16GB dGPU on a laptop is going to be annihilate the laptop battery. Efficiency focused GPUs are the realm of iGPUs.
I’m already using a mobile workstation type thing with 1h battery at most. That’s the unfortunate reality of mobile CGI / CAD work. I’d still be interested, as I have no alternatives.
