IDG Contributor Network: NVIDIA creates the last ultra performing laptop in the world
[Disclosure: NVIDIA is a client of the author.]
NVIDIA is one of the companies that (rightly) believes if you want to change a market locked into a design, you have to be willing to lead with a reference design – or sell the result yourself, like they did with their AI-focused DGX workstation.
NVIDIA recently howcased their ACE concept, which massively rethinks the mobile workstation making it something nearly equivalent to a tower. Benchmarks show a comparative performance range of 3% better to around 10% worse than an equivalent tower configuration. That’s pretty impressive, given users typically can’t notice a difference less than 20%. Asus has picked up the design, and this forms the top of what looks like an impressive performance laptop line from them.
