A few thoughts after looking at new laptops announced in CES:

 

Please stop putting 8950HK into thin and light chassis. It won't surpass the multi core performance of 8750H due to thermals. Even though it has extra 3MB cache and more single core performance, the i9 chip is much more expensive (chip alone: $583 vs $395). Not worth it.

 

Also, 2070MQ 80W and 2080MQ 80W are probably just slightly better than 2060 80W. Kinda reminds me of what happened to 1080MQ. Higher end GPU means higher MSRP. Therefore, you pay more.

 

Stop asking for more money from consumers without providing any noticeable extra performance.

    I'm more surprised that 9th gen laptop CPUs haven't launched tbh. Was hoping for an 8 core i9 laptop chip running at 2.0/2.3GHz at the same TDP

    @AluminiumTech CFL-H is still new

     

    9th gen with same, old 14nm architecture...putting 8 cores on mobile chip = fire hazard

    Several OEMs have managed to put an R7 2700 in their gaming laptops though :P...

    Those with beefy cooling solution...different story...what I mean is thin and lights

    so proper 2080 and 2070 mobile makes more sense if you're going for a high end GPU in the first place/

    @Jurrunio problem is, there are way too many 2070MQ and 2080MQ (both 80W, same with 2060N) in many new laptops. Feel like they are trying to charge more for a slight bump in performance

    Agree with the 8950HK in a smol chassis. The TDP runaway at turbo is pretty damn high and if you set a hard power limit, it ends up being only ever so slightly better than an 8750H in terms of overall performance.

     

    We'll have to wait for the performance numbers on the 2070 and 2080 in their Max-Q configurations before I can give a proper stance, though

    maybe they'll come eventually on the less attractive thick laptops.

    @D13H4RD considering that 1080MQ doesn't end well before, I don't have high hopes on 2070MQ and 2080MQ

    We'll have to see. All I can say as of right now is that the 2060 is probably going to be the winner as it pertains to value.
