X3D on high-end laptops would be amazing. My desktop has a 7800X3D, and it’s both efficient and powerful. Manufacturers need to move away from Intel’s power-hungry CPUs.

I believe MSI announced one with X3D tech.

I don’t get why the laptop market is slow to adopt X3D tech. This needs to change.

The Ryzen HX 370 is already great. It’s a productivity beast and only slightly behind desktop-grade Core Ultra 285 in performance.

X3D tech hasn’t been applied to monolithic chips yet.

Asus should stop limiting their GPUs to 115W on models like the Zephyrus G16. If Razer can go thinner and still pull 155W, so can Asus.

The G16 is a smaller chassis, though.

Glad to see the HX 370 paired with a 5090. It’s clearly the superior gaming chip compared to Intel’s offerings.

So excited! This is the upgrade year I’ve been waiting for.

My current Blade 16 struggles to cool the 14900HX and 4090, so it never hits 175W. Might look at Lenovo next time for better thermals.

You’ll never see 175W if the CPU is doing anything. Nvidia’s boost numbers are misleading.

Looking forward to seeing more AMD and high-end GPU pairings.

This thing could probably be traded for a decent car once prices drop.

32

With only 24MB of L3 cache, anyone pairing this CPU with a 5090 might regret it due to bottlenecks.

33

Can’t wait to see this in action!

34

Still no numpad. Why?

Razer rarely includes numpads anymore. If you need one, look at Lenovo Legion models.

36

Excited for the competition heating up in thin and light gaming laptops!

37

Can you open it easily for cleaning and upgrades?

38

Base spec probably won’t be less than $6k.

39

Razer laptops are overpriced and often underperform.

Razer Blade laptops have been the most problematic for me. Lots of issues waking from sleep or turning on.
