    so a 3060 is basically a 2070 super like performance?

    • Freestyle on 23/01/2021 - 03:53

      should be 2080

      • scud70 on 23/01/2021 - 06:03
        +4

        2080 mobile … and that’s a maybe. Expectations are a 3060 is a tier lower than its counter part, so a 3070M is around the 3060 desktop mark etc…

  • scrimshaw on 22/01/2021 - 23:29

    That's…surprisingly cheap for a RTX3000 laptop.

    GLHF to all the sellers who still have old RTX2060 stock and are still selling them for 1800.

      That's what I thought. Those older gen laptops are going to drop a fair bit and it's going to pop up quite frequently on OzB methinks.

  • pzhon on 22/01/2021 - 23:32

    Not sure how is the performance of 3060 in a laptop?
    Anyone can advise?

    • DASHCAM NOW DUDE on 22/01/2021 - 23:39

      No benchmarks yet with RTX 3060 laptops, which Nvidia says are 1.3 times faster than the PS5.

    • scrimshaw on 22/01/2021 - 23:43
      +9

      Similar to 2070 Super. Actual performance can differ because the manufacturer can run the GPU at 60 watts or go full throttle at 115 Watt (configurable TGP)

      They are ditching the Max-Q naming scheme and are just letting the laptop manufacturers determine whether or not the GPU should run at it's best or cripple it to reduce power consumption and heat output.

      23-Jan-2021 4PM Update from Techlinked regarding Max-Q, which will apparently live on but not advertised as much.

      • pzhon on 22/01/2021 - 23:52

        Completely understand the reason of max-Q design, but I am not a fan of it.
        I hope they will just let the graphic card to maximise its power

        • congo on 23/01/2021 - 08:03

          MaxQ should be called MinQ

              @Kill Joy: Which is ridiculous because most MaxQ laptops are not quiet, they're thinner, have smaller heatsinks, and so have to ramp the fans up to maximum to compensate. Most of them sound like jet engines when gaming

              @Kill Joy: It’s misleading. MaxQ sounds better, but it’s really the opposite.

              @Kill Joy: Pretty sure Nvidia marketing team just heard the Max Q term in aeronautics (where it stands for maximum dynamic pressure) and thought it sounded cool.

      • brimmy11 on 23/01/2021 - 00:38

    I have concerns on this. It must be a 1660 it talks about gtx cards in the info section and the 2060 of the same brand are above $2000 at other shops. I hope it’s real but it just looks like a typo. Any gigabyte laptop experts about?

      To the person who down voted please supply the link of another 3060 and explain why it states “ Powered by the new NVIDIA Turing™ GPU architecture and the revolutionary GTX platform, GTX graphics cards bring together real-time ray tracing, artificial intelligence, and programmable shading. This is a whole new way to experience games.” In the description

    • DASHCAM NOW DUDE on 22/01/2021 - 23:55

      The entire RTX2000 line were expensive.

      This time, Nvidia have decided to price the RTX3000 line more competitively.

      • Wrongguy on 23/01/2021 - 04:00

        That is because they now have a serious competitor that they can’t take lightly.

    I had no idea Intel made 6 core i5 laptops. How freaking confusing is their lineup. I5's are 4 core, except on desktops, but also except the i5 10500H which is 6. i7s are either 8, 6, or 4 cores. The i5-10500H is a higher tier part than the i7-11375H (wtf is even that name)?

    • Homr on 23/01/2021 - 01:00

      yes very confusing, its almost criminal!

      I bought a I7 10th gen 10510u and thought it was top of the range. But further researching it is just a 6th gen rebadge i5

        Good thing AMD is here to make sure Intel doesn’t take us for fools.

    • Ashenpips on 23/01/2021 - 07:55

      I have read that a 6 core processor is really an 8 core processor that was “binned” because because some cores weren’t up to scratch. And so on. i7 to i5. Saves waste. I’m not an expert, just found it interesting.

      • [Deactivated] on 23/01/2021 - 23:24

        On desktop Intel has two dies, a 6 core die and a 10 core die. i7 and i9's are all made from the 10 core die with 2 cores disabled if it's an i7. The i5's and i3's use the 6 core die, with the exception of the 10600k which uses the 10 core die with 6 cores disabled.

    • Radiskull on 23/01/2021 - 22:58

      The i5 branding used to be no hyoerthreading but that was changed two generations ago iirc after AMD introduced zen 2

          Not to mention power throttling… These days gfx cards a need quite a few things to go right just to hit it's name plate potential. This like thermals and power are never guaranteed.

  • Casomme on 23/01/2021 - 00:29

    Wait for reviews. Rumours are Nvidia have gone back to the days where the mobile versions of cards perform no where near the performance of the same desktop versions. Ampere made very minimal power efficiency improvements over Turing.

    • klatscho on 23/01/2021 - 02:03

      This.

      From what I have read, the mobile 3060 should be significantly slower than the desktop counterpart.

    • [Deactivated] on 23/01/2021 - 09:55

      Yeah but it's going to faster than the 2060, which is what you get for this price elsewhere

      • assarabbiya on 23/01/2021 - 11:31

        any idea/guess how 3060m would compare to 2070m?

        • [Deactivated] on 23/01/2021 - 11:55
          +1

          It's going to depend on the TDP configuration of each chip. It'd be extremely dissapointing if it wasn't faster than the 2070 at the same wattage, I'd guess maybe around the RTX 2080 mark. So a 90W 3060 might be similar to a 2080-Maxq. But that's totally a guess.

          • [Deactivated] on 23/01/2021 - 21:48

            @[Deactivated]: This… TDP matters as much if not more than the GPU itself (based off the 20 series) there are 1660tis faster than 2060 (say if its 80W 2060) and 2060(115W) faster than some 2070 laptops

        • Casomme on 23/01/2021 - 13:54

          Probably about the 2070m level tbh

    Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060: The RTX 3060 is the most affordable of Nvidia’s new laptop lineup, promising high-quality 1080p gaming at up to 90 frames per second in notebooks that start at just $999. Nvidia claims that RTX 3060 laptops are 1.3 times more powerful than the new PlayStation 5

    Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070: Laptops with the more powerful RTX 3070 will start at $1,299 and are built to deliver smooth 90-frame-per-second gameplay at a higher 1440p resolution. Nvidia says RTX 3070 laptops will outperform those packing an RTX 2070 by 50%.

    Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080: The most powerful member of Nvidia’s new laptop family, the RTX 3080 will allow gaming laptops to pump out more than 100 frames per second at 1440p. RTX 3080 laptops will be true high-end powerhouses for serious gamers and will start at a pricey $1,999.

    3060 mobile will be a cut down version of the desktop version. Less RTX cores, not just lower clocks.

  • HiredGoon on 23/01/2021 - 09:41

    Good price, especially if it's real. I too am worried about the mention of Turing architecture, the 3060m is definitely Ampere.
    Those interested in performance, there's a very short write up here, has specs and some general benchmarks.
    It's ugly as sin though, just saying.

  • Jabba the Hutt on 23/01/2021 - 10:03

    What's the distinction now between desktop and mobile parts naming-wise? Is the GPU here what might have been labelled a "3060M", or a full fat desktop part? I see reference out there to "3060 Mobile" and "3060 Laptop" to distinguish mobile parts, while the specs here just say 3060. Similar for the other day's MSI GP66 laptop deal which just says "RTX 3070". I assume they're mobile but the naming suggests otherwise.

        Can we not make this so political? It is almost like casual bullying.

        I ask this question because these companies tend to make the higher quality products in Taiwan and they tend to be better in quality. (Although I have no data to back up these but I thought it is a valid point of consideration.)

        (Although my preference of Clevo vs tongfang is totally political haha.)

    • [Deactivated] on 25/01/2021 - 09:36

      I doubt it as I bought their laptop previously and it's broken several times within its default warranty. Their customer service in Australia is run by (Australian) Chinese given that the Chinese family name they use and the accent they sound.

    Looks awfully like a clevo or tongfang… sure I have seen that chassis before. Either way sub $2000 at launch for a 3060 is likely the best price for some time. Still no idea on performance though but obviously faster than a 2060 which cost similar… infact PC case gear have the same laptop with i7+1660ti for the same price on a sale… https://www.pccasegear.com/products/50249/gigabyte-aorus-5-c…

  • imcold on 23/01/2021 - 21:14

    The tdp on the desktop 3060 is higher than the tdp of the 2060ti, that ~15w makes little difference on a desktop. But on a laptop that might mean overheating.

    So they will have to underclock the 3060 mobile version more, means the performance of the mobile version will be closer to that of the last gen, compared to desktop
