- RDNA 3 mobile is looking like low end only? As their top chip that was announced was a 7600M XT and they are comparing it to a 3060, looks like Radeon, least for now, has handed the laptop gaming market to Nvidia. It does explain why we did not see Asus announcing Strix with Radeon. Very unexpected from team Red but could be a situation where RDNA 3 mobile was not ready.

The 7600M XT/7700S and 7600M/7600S looks to be a decent budget friendly mid-range chip, should prove to be a decent part in "cheap" gaming notebooks like the Acer Nitro series.
The 7600M XT/7700S has better bandwidth than the desktop 6600XT (288GB/s vs 256GB/s)
The 7600M/7600S has better bandwidth than the desktop 6600 (224GB/s vs 256GB/s)
So that is already a good start...

Although Ray Tracing is where things will either make it or break it.

I was at first concerned seeing that the CU count stayed the same between the 6600M and 7600M models, but this larger bandwidth along with architectural changes and lower TDP (6600M is 100W, 7600M is 50-90W) should give them a small boost in performance and a bit bigger boost in battery life.

Speaking of mobile GPUs, did you guys notice that the 4070 and 4060 actually have less SMs and GPU shaders than their 30xx counterparts? This doesn't really bode very well for their later desktop counterparts, which should be the 4060 and below.

The 4070 mobile comes with 36 SM and 4608 Shaders, while the 3070 mobile had 40 and 5120 respectively.

The 4060 mobile comes with 24 SM and 3072 Shaders, while the 3060 mobile had 30 and 3840 respectively.

The 4050 mobile comes with 20 SM and 2560 Shaders, which just matches those of the 3050Ti and is only 4 SM more than the 3050 mobile.

Also, the memory bus is practically halved, being a 128bit bus for the 4070 and 4060 and only 96 bit for the 4050, resulting in very low bandwidths especially for the 4070.
