November 13, 2024 – In the latest video from the YouTube channel “Moore’s Law is Dead,” details have emerged about NVIDIA’s upcoming consumer-grade APU (Accelerated Processing Unit). The new APU, rumored to be a competitor to AMD’s forthcoming Strix Halo APU, is reported to offer gaming performance comparable to the 65W laptop version of the GeForce RTX 4070 graphics card.
According to the video, NVIDIA’s first consumer-focused APU will feature a powerful NPU (Neural Processing Unit) designed to enhance its capabilities in handling AI workloads. This integration of AI technology is expected to be a significant selling point for the new device.
The exposure of NVIDIA’s consumer-grade APU has generated excitement in the tech community, with its reported ability to rival the performance of the RTX 4070 in a laptop form factor. This level of performance in a potentially more efficient and integrated package could mark a significant shift in the gaming and creator laptop markets.
It is rumored that NVIDIA plans to release this APU in late 2025 or early 2026, positioning it as a potential market disruptor against AMD’s Sound Wave technology. The company is reportedly collaborating with Dell’s Alienware brand, focusing on the thin and light laptop segment with a target power consumption of up to 80W. This partnership could lead to the development of high-performance gaming and creator laptops that offer an optimal balance between portability and raw power.
