The MaxQ is lower TDP + lower voltage, I.E. lower power chips. 1080N MaxQ will function like a full-sized 1070N. 1070N MaxQ will function barely above a proper 1060N, but of course, since the 1060Ns in garbage like the Blade 14 is only 75W down from about 90W anyway, it'll still function "better" than the 1060Ns in those machines.



What this looks like, is retardation, that the public is eating up. Aorus X5 V6 put a 1070N in an extremely thin chassis and cooled it correctly. A 1080N in the RBP functions about like that 1070N does, which means that's what we'll expect from 1080N MaxQ.



So basically, 1080N prices, 1070N performance, but "1080 in super thin" so it'll sell. Because people are extremely stupid, and anything that slightly looks like defying the laws of physics to them is jumped on 100,000%. And as usual, proper comparisons won't be made. It's downright silly, honestly.



And it's being done on PASCAL too. The hottest architecture they've ever launched. Ever. In the thinnest laptops, ever. It's going to be a thermonuclear meltdown and nobody's going to care, again.



And you know what's the worst part? This is now officially "1080M" and "1070M" once again. Heavily neutered performance from the desktop parts, right in your laptop, for double the price. This should be torn into by people like PCworld. It's stupid. They're lauding it.
