\n\nAMD has said it would make impressive inroads into gaming laptops this year, and so far it\u2019s trending well, according to an ongoing list of gaming laptops available to order or pre-order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Youtuber GizmoSlipTech created the list of gaming laptops with GeForce RTX 30-series GPUs that are available to buy or pre-order. Our sample set below dates from January 15, when, by GizmoSlipTech\u2019s count, there were 28 different RTX 30-series laptops with Intel CPUs and 13 RTX 30-series laptops with AMD CPUs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That data gave AMD a respectable 32-percent share vs. Intel\u2019s 68 percent. The list included a few models announced but not yet available, such as Lenovo\u2019s Legion and Alienware\u2019s m15 and m17, as well as Asus\u2019 ROG Zephyrus G14 and TUF 15 and TUF 17. Of those, the Lenovo and Asus models will use Ryzen, while the pair of Alienwares will use Core. If we counted those models, it would give AMD 36 percent vs. Intel\u2019s 64 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Intel\u2019s Core still dominates in models or \u201cdesign wins,\u201d but it\u2019s slipping. A similar list GizmoSlipTech compiled in 2020 gave Intel about 85 percent of laptops with GeForce RTX 20-series or GeForce GTX 16-series gaming GPUs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A note on margin of error: While we have faith in the RTX 30-series list above because we covered many of them, 2020\u2019s list misses a few Intel models we knew of. We\u2019d be surprised if AMD had been used in more than 10 percent of gaming laptops last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
High-end GPUs with Ryzen\u2014huzzah!
The most significant change of fortune for AMD is its pairing with high-end GPUs. By high-end, we mean laptops with GeForce RTX 2070 or RTX 2080 GPUs. When Ryzen 4000 debuted, the best you could ever get with this very decent CPU for all of 2020 was a GeForce RTX 2060 with an AMD CPU. It was often explained by AMD as well as laptop vendors that they were conservative with their bets initially, giving Intel a total lock on higher-end GPUs in gaming laptops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This year, things are looking up. We filtered GizmoTechSlip\u2019s list and saw nine laptops using Ryzen 5000 and a GeForce 3070 or GeForce 3080. But what of AMD\u2019s claim that it will be the choice of high-end gaming laptops this year? So far that doesn\u2019t seem to be true, but it\u2019s only the middle of January\u2014too early to tell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of course, announced design wins and pre-orders are one thing Actual production quantity is another. If AMD laptops go from pre-order to sold-out in a hot minute and stay that way for three months, then it\u2019s all academic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s Nvidia\u2019s world, Intel and AMD just play in it
If you looked up \u201cdominate\u201d in the Urban Dictionary, you might find an entry using Nvidia\u2019s mobile GPUs as an example. Sure, AMD had a few mobile Radeon models last year, but good luck finding them in a gaming laptop. And while Intel is expected to be a player one day, right now, it\u2019s a sea of Nvidia green. That seems unlikely to change from GeForce RTX 20-series to GeForce RTX 30-series. In fact, of every single laptop announced at CES, we can think of only one model using a GPU other than GeForce, and it\u2019s not exactly high-end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because gaming laptops make up an estimated 60 million of Nvidia\u2019s existing GeForce customers, that\u2019s a lot of laptops that will likely stay green.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
