there were previously some x79 laptops made by companies like Sager, Clevo, and Eurocom that could hold up to 12-core Xeon processors. with DDR4 SO-DIMM laptop memory now available, does that mean that x99 laptops are now possible to produce? i havent heard of any being planned or made, so what gives? where are they?

Possible? Yes if you like bulky laptops. But with the super bad power consumption to performance ratio you have to be insane so build a portable device with it.

Mineral oil and 40 kg aluminium heat sinks are a perfect combination: 73 cores and a Titan X, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Oil

I don't think Clevo made a successor to that, so no X99.

there were x79 laptops that could hold a 3970x, which had a 150w tdp. so i think a 140w 5960x laptop would be more than possible to make.

Yes, but if there is no demand for a machine like that, no one would make a machine like that.

sager and other companies have laptops with dual desktop 980s and a desktop 6700k. there is clearly a market for it. i'm just wondering why the're not the next step up to x99.
