- jreese 5y agoPCIE lanes are still a function of both the CPU and the motherboard chipset. It's cheaper to build a board with fewer PCIE lanes, and cheaper to have fewer components that need said PCIE lanes.
- caslon 5y ago"laptop-grade" is mobile, in CPU terms. That's why Intel marks their laptop chips with an "M" at the end.
- sudosysgen 5y agoYes and no. There are desktop computers with laptop chips and laptop chips are much closer to desktop than to a phone for example
- half-kh-hacker 5y agoIn this context, 'mobile' does not mean 'phone', it means 'portable'.
- sudosysgen 5y agoSure, and "portable" is a useless class of chips. It's too large to be useful.
- kbumsik 5y ago> full laptop-grade Zen 2 processor. That's exactly what we call a "Mobile" chip in the x86 CPU market. The mobile phone grade chipsets you are probably thinking is probably called "Embedded" chip in the x86 market. ("Embedded" chips is wider than a mobile phone though)
