Late-gen x86 processors aren’t great at gaming, or cost too much.
However, things could take an unusual turn for the gaming laptops that will carry the latest graphics chips.
Instead, GeForce RTX 50 GPUs are expected to pair with 14th Gen Core-HX or Zen 4 chips.

Another possible explanation could hide in a simpletiming issue.
Most Blackwell AI GPUs arealready sold outbefore coming out of TSMC’s manufacturing lines.

However, such a product would make little sense when paired with a GeForce RTX 50 chip.
Thus, it’d make sense if the mobile lineup starts at the 5080 GPU level.
