\n\nPC enthusiasts looking for the next best thing may want to think twice before jumping on gaming laptop deals right now. With new hardware from AMD, Intel, and Nvidia coming around the corner, we\u2019re likely to witness a major performance bump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To help you decide, we\u2019ll run through the four reasons you may not want to buy a new laptop. All are significant reasons, but the first one is a doozy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Nvidia 30-series Ampere GPUs
If you buy a laptop to play games, the most important component is always going to be the GPU. While Nvidia remains tight-lipped, a report from WCCFtech.com\u2019s Usman Pirzada indicates that the mobile version of the company\u2019s \u201cstaggeringly powerful\u201d RTX 30-series GPUs could appear as soon as January.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The WCCFTech story said Nvidia\u2019s Ampere-based GeForce RTX 3060, RTX 3070, and RTX 3080 will supplant today\u2019s Turing-based 20-series of GPUs in gaming laptops. The Turing-based GeForce GTX 1650 and GTX 1650 Ti will stick around at lower prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s really the 30\u2019s that matter. Given that the GeForce RTX 3070 on desktop is somewhat equal to a GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, the mobile version should also provide a huge performance boost for gamers. And yes, the RTX 3080 will take yet another step beyond that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As the GPU is the lifeblood of gaming, it\u2019s worth it to wait a month to see if Pirzada\u2019s story comes true. And yes, if he\u2019s wrong, and you passed on a deal, you can shake your fist like Admiral Kirk as you scream into the heart of a dead planet: \u201cUSMAAAN!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. AMD Big Navi Mobile?
While there aren\u2019t any rumors of a mobile version of AMD\u2019s \u201cglorious\u201d Big Navi Radeon RX 6000 series for laptops, AMD has all but hinted that the Big Navi should yield good returns with its SmartShift technology, which intelligently shares power with the CPU. AMD also heavily pushed power efficiency as an advantage over Nvidia\u2019s 30-series. So we do expect a Radeon RX 6000 in laptops, but we don\u2019t know exactly when.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. AMD Ryzen 5000 mobile CPU
Moving into CPUs, we can say it\u2019s definitely worth waiting to see whether AMD CEO Lisa Su announces AMD\u2019s upcoming Ryzen 5000 mobile chips at her CES keynote in January. We called the desktop version using the Zen 3 core the \u201dbest computer CPU we\u2019ve ever seen.\u201d Offering better efficiency per clock than Intel\u2019s 14nm chips, Zen 3 offers stupidly good multi-core performance and strong single-core performance, too. The mobile version isn\u2019t likely to pack the 12 or 16 cores of the desktop, but the increase in single-core performance should greatly help Ryzen 4000\u2019s soft spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even better, Ryzen 5000 laptops will apparently finally be available with high-end GeForce GPUs, which were impossible to find this year. Most laptop vendors just never planned for how well Ryzen 4000 would do, but most likely they\u2019ve shifted their plans for Ryzen 5000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. Intel Tiger Lake H mobile CPU
If you have a cynical view of the world, you might say the only thing Intel changed in its \u201cH\u201d-class high performance chips from 8th-gen to 9th-gen and 10th-gen was the number. While they have small differences, they\u2019re all built on the same 14nm process that Intel has been nursing along for years. The old process means the chips make too much heat and consume too much power to compete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All that may finally change when Intel releases its 11th-gen Tiger Lake H chips. The CPUs will be built on the company\u2019s latest 10nm manufacturing process, which demonstrated impressive results on the lower-power version in thin-and-light laptops when we previewed it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
With a higher-wattage power budget, we expect the Tiger Lake H versions to outrun Ryzen 4000 CPUs. What we don\u2019t know is how it\u2019ll do against Ryzen 5000, but after years of 14nm H-class CPUs, we really think Tiger Lake H will knock our socks off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next-gen gaming laptops will leap forward
Add up all these next-gen parts, and we expect the result will be far more of a performance boost in 2021\u2019s gaming laptops than we\u2019re used to seeing. Anyone who is chasing performance should definitely wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The catch is whether you\u2019ll even be able to buy one of these amazing new laptops when they ship. Given the difficulty we\u2019re already seeing in buying Ryzen 5000 desktop CPUs, and GeForce 30-series and Radeon RX 6000 GPUs, all bets are off on actual availability, especially if scalpers have their way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So yes, while we\u2019d definitely recommend that performance fiends wait for next-gen gaming laptops, everyone else should still consider any stupidly good deal they find on a high-end gaming laptop now. Are you really ready to wait until the summer to get your dream laptop?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The other consideration is budget. All of these awesome-sauce parts will mostly go into higher-end laptops. If your funds are limited, you could snag a great deal on a current laptop precisely because vendors are clearing out inventory before the next generation hits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
