The Ryzen 7 APU and GeForce RTX 3050 Ti laptop GPU allow playing all the current games smoothly on the matte FHD display of the G15. The laptop offers space for two NVMe SSDs and also has an excellent battery life. Only the display won't win any prizes.

After having his GeForce RTX 3080 order remain unfulfilled for an entire year, a buyer in Poland reportedly ordered a special cake commemorating the “anniversary,” and sent it to the retail. Surprisingly, this drove the retailer to actually fulfill the order, a year after it was placed.

The Arc graphics cards are slated to be released in the beginning of 2022. Intel has stated that its new series of GPUs will not be restrictive in terms of cryptomining performance. Intel aims to entice gamers and contest AMD and NVIDIA in the competitive market.

Moore's Law Is Dead is back with quite the allegation. Unnamed sources of his are claiming that Nvidia may try to halt the production of all its RTX 3000 gaming GPUs in late October in order to keep street prices as high as possible until next year, when refreshed models could make these inflated prices the norm. This move might also be planned in order to mitigate a possible price crash caused by miners dumping many GPUs after Ethereum goes full POS.

Lenovo continues to teases the Yoga 16s 2022 on its Weibo channel. The company has now shared hands-on images and has confirmed that USB Type-C charging will be supported. The device will be available without a dedicated GPU, too.

XMG removed the microSD card reader, on the other hand.

Lenovo has already hinted that the 16s 2022 will define the offerings involved in the next round of Yoga PCs, in the Chinese market at the least. Now, it has revealed some potentially crucial internal specs for this upcoming convertible. It will have a Ryzen 5000 platform with NVIDIA RTX 3000-series graphics.

ASUS has unveiled the Turbo GeForce RTX 3070 Ti, expanding its Turbo series. The GA104-based card retains the Turbo series' dual-slot design and offers a 30 MHz overclock compared to NVIDIA's reference specifications.

While the high-end models from Nvidia's Ampere generation (RTX 3060, RTX 3070, RTX 3080) have been on the market for a while, the mid-range segment had to wait a bit longer for new GPUs. The XMG Focus 17 shows what an RTX 3050 Ti with a high TGP is capable of.

According to reports, NVIDIA is planning to bring the RTX 3090 Ti to market soon. Reportedly, the card will arrive with a GA102-250 GPU, 21 Gbps VRAM and a 450 W TDP. The RTX 3090 Ti may sport a new 16-pin power connector, too.

Razer has refreshed the Blade 15 Advanced with more configurations. The company has cut the price of the Razer Book 13 by US$200 too, bringing the machine down to US$999.99 for the cheapest model. All new configurations ship with Windows 11, but Windows 10 also remains an option.

If this new leak is accurate, we could see the RTX 30 SUPER lineup launched throughout the first quarter of 2022. Additionally, Nvidia might up the minimum VRAM capacity to at least 12 GB for all of its desktop tiers. The RTX 3070 Ti with 16 GB and RTX 2060 with 12 GB may be launched to compensate for the ongoing shortages.

ASUS and Noctua have finally revealed their collaborative graphics cards, both based on the GeForce RTX 3070. Supposedly, the pair are the quietest air-cooled graphics card in their class and should not exceed 35 dB(A) under load.

Nvidia did not do itself a favor with the strongly varying TGPs of the current Ampere generation. Even though the XMG Focus 15 races past most other laptops with the RTX 3050 Ti, the RTX 3060 is clearly the better choice for gamers.

The new Oryx Pro laptops are powered by the Intel Core i7-11800H processor that can be coupled with up to 64 GB of DDR4-3200 RAM and up to 4 TB of PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD storage. On the graphics side, we find the RTX 3070 and 3080 Max-Q dGPU options and there is a MUX switch to unleash the full potential in games and demanding applications. It also comes with a Thunderbolt 4 connector, but the prices are quite steep.

ASUS has shared the first images of a new graphics card produced in partnership with Noctua. The RTX 3070 Noctua should not only run quietly but also coolly thanks to a huge heatsink. The card's design may take gamers some getting used to, mind you.

With the Omen series, HP has been offering visually attractive gaming laptops that are also interesting in terms of their price-performance ratio. Now, the manufacturer introduces a new gaming series to the market with the Victus laptops.

Honor has made good on some earlier teasers with a launch for the new MagicBook 16 series, with an up-to-date Ryzen 7 platform and 144Hz displays. They have been joined with a less expected variant: the V 14. It will now join the first wave of laptops to ship with Windows 11, and will do so with a 2K display and Tiger Lake-H35 processors.

Owners will want to apply the update ASAP to get the most out of their new expensive purchases. The manual graphics switching was available on older Alienware laptops but it was curiously missing on the new x15 and x17 models at launch.

The more expensive RTX 3080 may not always be the faster option if you can find a cheaper RTX 3070 alternative running at higher TGP levels.

The Surface Laptop Studio is Microsoft's most exciting device in years, with a radically different design and a 120 Hz display. The 14.4-inch machine includes Tiger Lake-H35 processors too, but most people must wait until 'early 2022' before they can order it.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 SUPER has appeared in a listing for HP's latest AiO PC. NVIDIA is expected to reveal the RTX 30 SUPER series in early 2022, but HP's references to an RTX 3080 SUPER are likely just an error.

Veteran leaker @kopite7kimi has shared information about Nvidia's upcoming graphics cards, including the GeForce RTX 3090 Super, RTX 3080 Super, RTX 3070 Super and RTX 3060 Super. The SKUs are slated to offer incremental upgrades over their base variants, such as faster VRAM and more CUDA cores.

The prices of current AMD and NVIDIA desktop graphics cards are continuing to move away from MSRP, having bottomed out in July. Both the RX 6000 and RTX 30 series are now selling for around 1.7x MSRP, with second-hand prices remaining at inflated levels, too.

The upcoming AMD RDNA 3 Navi 31-based RX 7900 XT will be based on a 5 nm + 6 nm MCM and could use a 256-bit memory bus but stick to GDDR5 VRAM. Navi 33 (RX 7700 XT) will be a 6 nm monolithic die with 128-bit GDDR6 VRAM and offer more performance than the current RX 6900 XT. The Nvidia Lovelace AD102 RTX 4090 will continue to use 384-bit GDDR6X memory and have GPU clocks greater than 2.2 GHz.

Xiaomi is set to release a second-gen product in its Redmi G gaming laptop series. The Redmi G (2021) will launch on September 22 and the company has now revealed some details of the laptop's cooling hardware and display via a series of teasers.
