As a casual gamer I'm already okay with the RTX 3050 dGPU on my laptop. Reports put Strix Halo at RTX 4070 level which is massive for an iGPU and certainly allows for 2k single screen gaming. Hardcore gaming will always require a desktop with PCIe boards.

Strix Halo is nowhere near RTX 4070 (desktop at least, not familiar with laptop GPUs).

Maybe there's been some selective optimization and careful marketing but to even be in that ballpark for some games now means that more is coming.

This link is a terrible source. In one of the graphs 4060 is faster than 4070. This speaks to the quality of testing.

In some power constrained scenarios that sort of thing is often petty reproducible.

Especially if the different SKUs have different power budgets. Laptop GPU naming and performance is a bit of a mess, as in the example shown (the 4060 on the Asus TUF Gaming A16 has a limit of 140w GPU+CPU, while the 4070 on the Asus Proart PX13 has 115w GPU+CPU - and even that is a "custom" non-default mode with 95w being the actual out-of-the-box limit).

With wildly varying power profiles laptop graphics need to be compared by chassis (and the cooling/power supply that implies) as much as by GPU SKU.

		That just proves the point about the source, right?
