There aren’t many exciting developments when it comes to the best gaming laptops because we’re in the middle of GPU generations. However, a new gaming laptop from Asus has leaked out of the FCC Certification Office with both a Ryzen 6000 chip and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 Ti. None of these components currently exists for gaming laptops. But it’s not the first time we’ve heard about an RTX 3080 Ti making its way to a notebook. This new Asus ROG Strix G15 will also apparently include the Ryzen 9 6900HS, which is the first time we’ve found the new AMD chip leak out. But we’re not sure whether or not the specs will actually look like this, but the reported leak by MyLaptopGuide.
The recent leak clearly indicates the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX will have 8 cores and 16 threads, which is the same as the 5900HX as well as the configuration with the RTX 3080 Ti at least will have up to 32GB of RAM. That’s about all the information we have found for the processor. But we are sure more information and details will be there as we get closer to CES 2022. There are many reviews out there that point to Intel Alder Lake as being AMD’s first serious competition from Team Blue in years. Now, AMD still only has its 7nm Ryzen 5000 processors to combat Intel. We haven’t heard much about Zen 4 quite yet and it’s been a little over a year since AMD launched its Zen 3 processors.
But we could imagine AMD is going to have a big showing at CES 2022. What remains to be seen out of Zen 4, obviously, is how well it combats Intel’s latest efforts. Going with a big “LITTLE” design was a big risk for Intel, especially given how Windows on ARM has gone in the past, but it has essentially paid off. Moreover, AMD is likely going to stick with having the same type of core layout as it’s had in the past, and we are expecting to see how it uses that to pull further ahead of Intel. You don’t have to wait long because CES 2022 is just after 2-months away as scheduled on 5th January 2022.
