NVIDIA shows what’s possible with their new MAX-Q Design – 18mm slim GTX 1080 notebooks

NVIDIA has just made a few key announcements at their
COMPUTEX 2017 keynote address. Starting off, they are releasing a new reference
GEFORCE GTX MAX-Q design. With the new MAX-Q design, manufacturers can now
integrate high end NVIDIA gaming graphics processing unit into a slim and much
lighter notebook form factor.

Founder and CEO of NVIDIA, Mr Jensen Huang was proud to
explain the marvels of MAX-Q. With the new reference design, the GTX 1080 and
GTX 1070 graphics card can reach their peak efficiency in notebook PCs. This is
enabled by advanced thermal solution which prevents any thermal throttling of
GPU frequencies, and a highly efficient next-gen regulator design for stable GPU operations.

He also showed one of the new ASUS 17-inch Gaming Laptops
that runs with the new design. Even though the new laptop runs on a powerful
NVIDIA GTX 1080, it kept a very slim and portable profile. It is said that this new laptop is 60% faster than the current PlayStation 4 console. 

This innovative design redefines the possibilities of laptop
design and performance, as it has taken away the bulky size requirements of
integrating a powerful dedicated graphics card. We will be looking forward to
more of such laptops at COMPUTEX 2017.
