  • AMD RDNA 3 Architecture - Features redesigned compute units with unified ray tracing and AI accelerators, second-generation AMD Infinity Cache technology and second-generation ray tracing technology.
  • Dedicated AI Acceleration - New AI accelerators are optimized for the latest AI workloads. New AI instructions and increased AI throughput are designed to deliver more performance than AMD RDNA 2 architecture.
  • 16 GB VRAM for 1440p Gaming - 16 GB of high-speed GDDR6 memory enables gamers to experience the latest titles at 1440p and beyond, and allows content creators to unpack high-resolution textures, and render complex 3D environments and animations in real time.
  • Improved Streaming & Ultra-High-Definition Encoding - Improved AMD encoders deliver enhanced visual quality when streaming and recording. AMD AI and content adaptive machine learning technology has also been integrated into the AMD Media Framework to enable sharper text when streaming at low bitrates and resolutions. In addition, the encode/decode media engine unlocks new multi-media experiences with full AV1 encode/decode support, wide color gamut and high-dynamic range enhancements.

So 4608 shaders, I suppose it uses a cut-down Navi31 chip?

18 inch display? Might as well buy a desktop, it will be just as mobile.

Interesting. 4000 mobiles didnt impress at all, their power efficiency seemed not to translate to performance improvements. Look forward to benchmarks. A razer 18 with the 7900m and a 7940h would be sweet.

It's a 17.3" laptop with a 16:10 screen. If you think a desktop is as mobile as that, you need your head examined.
Xex360Issue is few laptops come equipped with AMD GPUs.
Part of that issue - AMD laptop GPUs come out WAY later then NVidia. Case in point, this article. Mobile RTX 4000 came out over half a year ago.

Should be interesting. CU count is between a 7900 GRE, and 7800 XT.

Damn. If that actually runs at 2000 mhz this is pretty heavy weight for a lappy. Seems legit. 180W does seem like a lot to take for that form factor. You're gonna be looking at 225-240W system for sure for any half decent CPU perf.

Interesting. I go to the Dell website...and try to spec this out with 64GB RAM....and the 7900M....and it immediately defaults to the 4900 NVidia GPU.

Selecting a different SSD does the same.

Exactly my thought. This would be awesome if it's used in a desktop card. Would be ideal for a high end SFF build.

Some people need the power of desktop but more mobile and takes less space, it's a niche market but given the price few people are able to afford this kind of "laptops".

I looked over the Dell website and this one goes for $2800. My problem here was, you cant change the display resolution to higher than FHD. When you do it automatically switches the graphics to 4090 as well. Bummer since FHD for this AMD card is a bit low. Maybe they will expand the offer later.
