El laptop market it is very important, since it moves a lot of money. We have seen how in recent years AMD has managed to improve a lot in this market.

We saw a lot of talk last year about the limitations of the Ryzen 4000H processors. Above all, the few PCIe 3.0 lines intended for graphics stood out, specifically 8 PCIe 3.0 lines were intended. Meanwhile, Intel processors offered 16 PCIe 3.0 lanes for dedicated graphics. The manufacturers claimed that the 8 lines of Ryzen processors were insufficient for the RTX 2070 and RTX 2080.

PurePC says a laptop manufacturer, whose name they have not disclosed, would have indicated an agreement between Intel and NVIDIA. This indicated that the RTX 2070 and RTX 2080 could only be combined in laptops with Intel 10 Gen processors.

A few days ago the ASUS RoG Strix was announced with a Ryzen 5000 Mobile processor and even an NVIDIA RTX 3080 Mobile. Therefore, the agreement between Intel and NVIDIA would have already ended.
