    If AMD can make an SoC suitable for entry and mid-range gaming laptops with no dGPU required, that could put a sizeable dent in sales of NVIDIA’s smaller GPUs and potentially be more profitable for laptop OEMs (not having to pay Intel tax + NVIDIA tax).

      In theory, yes. In practice, a high end APU is going to be competing with low end and prior generation/refresh CPUs/GPUs. Once those discounts are figured in, the value proposition in straight performance/$ is shot.

      They would be MacBook Pro fighters that could also do gaming at high energy efficiency, but we’re not close to that being a go-to for any price segment if performance is paramount. Those chips will be expensive and the laptops with them will stay expensive for quite a while.

      Asus TUF A15 is $750 rn. There’s usually a totally usable gaming laptop for $800 and a decent midrange one for $1100-1200.
