The XBox One X is drawing about 175 watts gaming, and obviously AMD has had success marrying that GPU with their Jaguar cores. The same GPU slapped onto a MUCH more powerful Intel chip.....that's going to be a pretty damn solid machine for thin and light. I would imagine the one package setup dramatically simplifies cooling as well given the maze of heatpipes they have to stuff into get both GPU and CPU covered in a gaming laptop.



Yeah, won't threaten the gigantic 1080 laptops but I could see this easily sliding into the realm of the far more consumer friend 1050/1060 laptop segment and being pretty disruptive. Would also be quite nice for battling Quaddro mobile units.



Win win all around here. For AMD it means they can still make money even if they can't compete 1 to 1 with Intel on the mobile market. Plus, as someone else mentioned.....every XBox, PlayStation, and now a good number of Intel machines are going to be running AMD tech. At some point in time game developers are going to HAVE to take notice and work toward skewing code to optimize on those AMD hardware. For Intel, they stay relevant. Without solid increases in IPC, this is a way to deliver a "faster" experience.



Also wonder....could Intel's fabs be leveraged to make HBM2? I'm not super aware of that end of the chip game.
