- Nvidia’s rumors Gaming Laptop Soc is expected to surpass the RTX 4070 in terms of performance
- Rumors now point to a 65W TDP instead of 80W or 120W
- It can ultimately be used in handhelds
While all eyes are aware of the Nintendo Switch 2‘s launch of 5 June and its DLSS-driven processor, NvidiaThe alleged gaming laptop and potential handheld PC chip can surpass its competitors, based on new performance airs.
As reported by Notebook check” Nvidia and MediaTek’s rumors gaming -laptop soc (System-on-Chip) is expected to match the performance of the RTX 4070, according to a Taiwanese outlet, UDN. It was previously reported that it had a TDP (thermal design power classification) between 80 and 120 W, but it is now expected to use a Blackwell GPU and have a TDP of 65W.
The rumors indicate that the chip can mainly be used for gaming laptops; UDN also states that it is one Arm-Based processor, so gaming -laptops can benefit from a good battery life and efficiency. However, the new report of a 65W TDP makes its potential portable gaming pc use more a possibility.
It could be the first big step of Team Green in the Handheld -Gaming -PC market; NVIDIA has made mobile processors, in particular because of its portable shield, but this would be the first powerful chip to compete with this new generation of handhelds, encouraged by Valve’s Steam deckIf true.
Most devices such as the Asus Rog Ally X and the MSI Claw 8 AI+ Keep track of a maximum TDP of 30W, so the assumed 65W TDP for Nvidia’s SOC can be a large piece for portable requirements (especially in terms of power efficiency) – but it is much better than the previously proposed 80 or 120W.
If it is not used in handhelds and is only reserved for laptops, it can be a huge chance that Nvidia has missed to conquer the portable gaming market – especially in the current climate of bad reception of reviewers such as Gamers Nexus.
Analysis: Are handhelds the future of gaming?
Again, there is no mention of handhelds in the rumors about Nvidia’s unannounced gaming soc, so this is only an assumption – but if this chip is real and it is ultimately used for handhelds, does this mean that handhelds are the future of gaming?
I can say at least AMD‘s APUS and other SOC -Processors shall Play an important role in gaming in the future. We have already seen AMD’s Ryzen Ai Max+ 395 The RTX 4070 -Laptop GPU in Games such as Cyberpunk 2077Eliminating the need for a discreet GPU.
The only problem is that the Ryzen Ai Max+ 395 has not yet been used in a handheld, probably because of the high TDP, so that I am worried that these rumors will not come to handhelds. With DLSS 3 or 4 for sharper image quality and better available game performance, I would expect it to perform better than AMD and Intel‘s SOCs that are currently used in handhelds.
Anyway, it is a step in the right direction, and the closer we can get to hand with the help of IgPUs that are closer to the power of discreet GPUs, the better handhelds are a central point of future gaming.
