All it needs is a mobile Intel ARC GPU to be truly unique
After a long hiatus from most laptop makers, AMD is back on the menu for a select few models. One of them is this year’s Razer Blade 14, which is powered by an eight-core, 16-thread Ryzen 9 7940HS and mobile RTX 4070 from NVIDIA. add some interesting features. Instead of driving the display, the iGPU will be used by new features Microsoft is adding to Windows 11 and Office to take advantage of Ryzen AI acceleration.
Since this is a PCIe 4.0 based system, the M-2 port runs on an M.2 NVMe slot attached to the CPU running at Gen 4 x4 as well as the GPU. DDR5 is supported, in dual channel mode. The 3D Guru would like to see an X3D part in a laptop soon, but that seems likely to be a long way off. The review is available here.
