Dell is once again re-introducing the XPS 14, this time sporting the same design language as the new XPS 13. The XPS 14 9440 offers up to a 3.2K OLED display, Core Ultra 7 processors, and an optional RTX 4050 configuration. Compared to the XPS 13 9340, the XPS 14 9440 offers an additional Thunderbolt 4, microSD card slot, and a larger battery but forgoes Wi-Fi 7 for Wi-Fi 6E.

Dell is bidding goodbye to the iconic XPS 15 lineup, making way for the new XPS 16 9640. The XPS 16 9640 continues the same design language as the newly launched XPS 13 and XPS 14. Buyers can customize the XPS 16 with 45 W Intel Meteor Lake CPUs, up to a 60 W Nvidia RTX 4070 Laptop GPU, an optional 4K+ OLED panel, and reap benefits of Wi-Fi 7 connectivity.

Consisting of RTX 4080 SUPER, RTX 4070 Ti SUPER, and RTX 4070 SUPER, the RTX 40 SUPER series is expected to bring some nice, if not revolutionary, upgrades over the vanilla RTX 40 cards with potential price adjustments. Per specifications leaked by VideoCardz, all three GPUs will get increased core counts, base clocks, and 12VHPWR power connectors. In the case of the RTX 4080 SUPER and the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER, NVIDIA is also allegedly improving the memory profile of the boards with more bandwidth.

CheckMag The RTX 2080, the GTX 780, the GTX 580, the GTX 480 and the GTX 280 all sported a TBP of around 240 W, as the table below shows, while the GTX 1080, the GTX 980 and the GTX 680 were even humbler at under 200 W. With the RTX 3080 and the RTX 4080, Nvidia went out of its way to deliver performance at all costs. It is thus reasonable to expect next-gen RTX cards to be closer to the planet Earth in terms of power consumption, meaning an outstanding increase in CUDA core counts or in clock speeds is pretty much out of the question.

According to the latest RTX 50 release date and performance leak from Moore’s Law Is Dead, NVIDIA can launch the new GPU architecture as soon as Q4 2024 with a performance bump that is not as impressive as what the RTX 40 series brought over the RTX 30 in pure rasterization.

Many users of RTX 40 series GPUs, especially the RTX 4090, are still reporting the power cables burning and melting problem. This issue can be avoided with a secure connection, which requires a minimum space of 35 mm between the connector and the first bend. To make it easier to ensure this, Seasonic has recommended using a hair dryer to pre-bend the cables before installing the card.

MSI will be unveiling an upgraded Titan 18 HX at CES 2024. The flagship gaming laptop will feature the world's first 18-inch 4K 120 Hz mini-LED display with 1000 nits peak brightness and a 2 million:1 contrast ratio, and each unit comes factory-calibrated for accurate color reproduction. The company hasn't detailed any specifications but expect to see SKUs powered by Intel Raptor Lake-HX Refresh CPUs and Nvidia RTX 4090 Laptop GPU.

Sold for as high as $2,198.99 in early August, the Asus ROG Strix G16 (2023) with Intel Core i9-13980HX processor and Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 graphics is now available for $1,699.99. This price is $50 higher than the all-time low, but quite attractive given the $1,826.44 average Amazon price (according to Camelcamelcamel).

Unlike other budget models that sacrifice build and screen quality, the Nitro 16 offers a good display plus features that are rarely seen at such low prices, such as a USB4 connector and a microSD card reader. The RTX 4070 is also maxed out at 140 W.

NVIDIA is reportedly gearing up to release a cut-back version of the RTX 4090 exclusively for China next month. Termed the RTX 4090D or “Dragon”, the GPU allegedly employs an AD102-250 chip, a lower power limit than the RTX 4090, and fewer CUDA cores.
