I thought the industry was moving away from intel cpus?
- banger180 5y agoUSB-c Power Delivery does not require an intel CPU, so I don't see a problem.
- burundi_coffee 5y agoI think he was referring to the absurd amount of power some Intel CPUs require.

- selfhoster11 5y agoThen other power-hungry device categories will become the beneficiaries of this. External GPUs with a high power draw, for instance.
- bin_bash 5y agodon't external GPUs have their own power?
- selfhoster11 5y agoCurrently they do. They wouldn't need it if such a high-power connection became the norm.
- kiwijamo 5y agoMy SO has an AMD gaming laptop that came with a 135W power supply. Surprised the heck out of me as I typically see Lenovo/Apple laptops with 45W or 65W power supplies. Doesn't seem to be an Intel-only thing.
- ChuckNorris89 5y agoGPUs in gaming laptops use WAY more power than even the hungriest mobile CPU. Strong mobile CPUs like the Ryzen 5800H are usually in the 45W ballpark while mobile RTX 3080 class GPUs can go as far as 170W+ and that is still half of what the desktop equivalent can draw.
- vladvasiliu 5y agoWhat's the cooling situation on such a laptop?
- fogihujy 5y agoSomewhere between "drone" and "fighter jet" in most cases.
- asdff 5y agoif you are paying money for a gaming laptop, you probably aren't tolerating the teensy unidirectional laptop speakers, and have some serious cans on your head for gaming that mask the helicopter on your desk.
- cyrksoft 5y agoMany of them use vapor chambers, they are quite good as a cooling solution[0]. [0]https://www.1-act.com/resources/heat-pipe-fundamentals/different-types-of-heat-pipes/vapor-chambers/ https://www.1-act.com/resources/heat-pipe-fundamentals/diffe...

- MonaroVXR 5y agoDepends on the laptop. Can't do really big statements.
- MonaroVXR 5y agoDepends on the laptop. Don't search for the ASUS G14, the G14 is dead when plug too much power into it. Bold statement, but I've warned you. You need power, your going to hear the fans. There's currently no solution for cooling it quietly.
