Gaming laptops have become highly competent machines that can compete with some high-end desktops. Thanks to GPUs such as NVIDIA's flagship (for a little while longer) mobile GeForce RTX 4090, performance can be reasonably close to desktop GeForce RTX 4070 Ti levels.

There are multiple reasons to think that discrete graphics cards would see a decline in shipments during this time of the year, such as typical seasonality and this being the tail-end of the current generation product cycle for AMD (Radeon RX 7000 series), NVIDIA (GeForce RTX 40 series), and Intel (Arc A-series)...

Laptops with AMD graphics may be few and far between, but that's partially because AMD simply hasn't had many current-generation GPUs to offer laptop vendors. Until recently, it was basically the entry-level Radeon RX 7600M family or the top-end Radeon RX 7900M—essentially a Radeon RX 7900 GRE in mobile form.
Now...

Normally at this time of year, discrete graphics card shipments tend to decline, with Jon Peddie Research citing a 10-year average of a 7% drop. That gets chalked up to seasonality. In the second quarter of 2024, however, discrete GPU shipments bucked that trend and actually grew 1.8% compared to the previous quarter...

There are many reasons why a graphics card (or any hardware component) may run hotter than expected, which in turn can lead to unwanted throttling. Insufficient cooling, dust buildup, and overly aggressive overclocks are just a few examples. It could also be the result of poor quality and sloppily applied thermal...

NVIDIA has enjoyed a substantial lead in ray tracing performance for the last few product releases, but things may soon be changing. AMD's upcoming RDNA 4 architecture may bring with it a significant increase for ray tracing capabilities, for both PC and console gamers.
