Here's how we got off topic: If this is true, kills a lot of cases for eGPUs, plain and simple, as it will be cheaper and smaller to just buy a separate gaming desktop and then people said I should rather buy a gaming laptop and I pointed out the keyboard problems. That's the history. Sorry :)


To stay on topic, the watts don't add up. The Vega 56 is 210W, the RX 570 150W. Half of Vega 56 would still be 100W and that reaching the performance of the 150W RX 570 is impossible. Shrink it down to the level where it fits a 65W envelope alongside a CPU and even more so.


So what's up with these reports? How does the graphics performance / power consumption ratio of these chips reach such levels?
