INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Nvidia recently shook up the graphics card market with its line of Super RTX and GTX cards, and now it appears the company may be preparing
to deliver that same performance boost to the mobile computing market
Mobile Max-Q versions of Nvidia's GTX 1650 Super up through the RTX 2080 Super have shown in a leak from NotebookCheck translated and shared
by Hothardware .The refresh is expect in March 2020, and the leaked graphics cards are believed to be the following:Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080
Super Max-Q with 8GB GDDR6 (80W TDP)Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 Super Max-Q with 8GB GDDR6 (80W TDP)Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 Super Max-Q with 8GB
GDDR6 (80W TDP)Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Super Max-Q with 4GB GDDR6 (35W TDP)Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 Super Max-Q with 4GB GDDR6 (35W TDP)When
the first Super RTX graphics cards launched, they boosted the performance of existing cards
But, they didn't quite manage to outshine what AMD had done with the introduction of the Radeon RX 5700 on a price-to-performance level
AMD's high performance, value, and efficiency thanks to its 7-nanometer architecture helped it get an edge, even if it's not competing at
the highest-end.Now, AMD is geared to gain even more ground in the mobile space with the Radeon RX 5500M
That's where Nvidia's new graphics processors could come in to keep its footing.These new Super Max-Q graphics processors would effectively
take all the recent GPU offerings from Nvidia (excluding the MX models) and upgrade them for better performance
And, that comes at a time when we're seeing more machines that can use the extra performance, like the Asus gaming laptop with a 300Hz
display.AMD's RX 5500M may be a strong low-to-mid-range options, but it's just that
As of yet, AMD doesn't have the anticipated RX 5300M or RX 5700M available in laptops to round out its performance options.Nvidia's launch
of Super Max-Q GPUs in early 2020 could help it cement its dominance in the mobile gaming space, making it harder for AMD to break in even
if its Navi mobile GPUs are competitive.
