Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 Super Max-Q Review

I'd probably wait and see if the Ryzen 9 4000H laptops come with a decent RTX super - the lower TDP of the CPU means more headroom for a higher powered GPU.

Great point. The 4900HS with the lower TDP Max Q 2060 puts up an extremely strong showing, especially minimum framerates.

It is impressively fast against the 9750H with the full fat 2060 on games that are more CPU bound at 1080p resolution, like SOTTR, RDR2 and Resident Evil.

A 4900/4800HS paired with a 2070 Max Q would be a potentially great combination, low power consumption, maximum performance per watt.

You are comparing 8 cores to 6 cores. 4900HS is not that amazing in games compared to the new 10875H. Sure, it is more efficient, more silent, but gaming wise it still reflects the results from desktop chips, that is 9900K is faster in most games than 3800X.

Yes I am, since that is the only comparable RTX2060 machine used in this test.

It shouldn't escape your notice 4900HS still only has a TDP of 35w, versus 45w for the 9750H or the 10875H. Efficiency is prized in notebooks.

At the moment TechSpot does not have a comparable notebook test of 4900HS (or preferably 4900H) v 10875H in a direct discrete gaming battle. However I have looked at other outlets and can confirm the AMD part is essentially equal so that it makes no noticeable difference whatsoever, in addition to being faster on more productivity circumstances. It's at least as fast or faster than the Intel chip, but using a lot less power. Critical factor for notebooks- heat, noise, form factor, battery life etc.

The desktop side is an entirely different matter, unrestricted by tight TDP constraints. 9900k is about 15 percent faster than 3800X in gaming assuming you're using that $500 CPU with a GPU at least as expensive to run your games at only 1080p. Sounds pretty niche to me.

Otherwise at 1440p and higher with correctly tuned memory the difference is negligible. Of course a 3800X is a lot cheaper than a 9900K though. One assumes you mean the 12 core 3900X. Which is also still cheaper...
