- Nvidia’s rumored gaming laptop soc is expected to surpass RTX 4070 with respect to performance
- Rumors now suggest 65W TDP instead of 80W or 120W
- It could be used in handheld in the end
While all eyes are locked on the Nintendo Switch 2’s June 5, and its DLS-powered custom processor, Nvidia’s alleged gaming-laptop and potential handheld PC chip could surpass its competitors, based on new performance rumors.
As reported by NoteBookcheck, NVIDIA and Medierek’s rumors of gaming laptop soc (system-on-chip) are expected to match the RTX 4070S performance, according to a Taiwanese marketing market, Tender. It was previously reported to have a TDP (thermal design power assessment) between 80 and 120W, but it is now expected to use a Blackwell GPU and have a TDP of 65W.
The rumors show that the chip can primarily be used for game -bearable computers; OPTH also mentions that it will be an arm-based processor so that gaming-laptop can benefit from good battery life and efficiency. However, the fresh report of a 65W TDP makes its potential handheld game -PC to use more of an option.
It could be Team Green’s first big step into the handheld game -PC market; Nvidia has made mobile processors, especially for its laptop shield, but this would be the first powerful chip competing with this new generation of handheld, spurred by Valve’s steam tire, if true.
Most devices like ASUS ROG Ally X and MSI Claw 8 AI+ maintain a maximum TDP of 30W, so the supposed 65W TDP for Nvidia’s SOC can be a great stretch of handheld requirements (especially with regard to power efficiency) – but it is much better than the previously proposed 80 or 120W.
If not used in handhelds and is reserved for laptops alone, it can be a huge option that Nvidia misses taking the laptop gaming market by storm – especially in the current climate in poor reception from reviewers like players Nexus.
Analysis: Is the handheld the future of games?
Again, there is no mention of handhelds in the rumors of Nvidia’s unannounced gaming soc, so this is just an assumption – but if this chip is real and it is eventually used for handhelds, is this that handhelds are the future of games?
At least I can say AMDS APUS and other SOC processors will Play a significant role in play in the future. We have already seen AMDS Ryzen AI MAX+ 395 surpass the RTX 4070 portable GPU in games as Cyberpunk 2077Eliminate the need for a discreet GPU.
The only problem is that Ryzen AI MAX+ 395 has not been used in a handheld yet, probably because of its high TDP, which has me worried that this rumor Nvidia Soc is not coming to handhelds. With DLSS 3 or 4 for sharper image quality and better gaming performance available, I would expect it to surpass AMD and Intels SOCs currently used in handhelds.
Either way, it’s a step in the right direction and the closer we can get to handhelds using IGPUs closer to the power of discreet GPUs, the better handhelds will be a gathering point for future game.
