NVIDIA’s RTX laptops with AMD CPUs

Jensen’s spoils Lisa’s surprise.

During his keynote, Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA, presented four new laptops set to be fully unveiled at Computex later today. These laptops, designed by ASUS and MSI, share two key features: NVIDIA GeForce RTX graphics and AMD Strix Point APUs, which have yet to be officially announced.

AMD is set to showcase its Ryzen AI 300 series powered by Zen5 architecture in just a few hours. This might be the first time AMD has more new laptops to showcase than Intel, which had its prime unveiling at CES. Instead of introducing a new architecture, AMD has focused on the Ryzen 8000 series, a refresh of the Phoenix line. Meanwhile, Intel’s Arrow Lake laptops are expected soon, and Lunar Lake is not targeting gaming laptops, making this Computex primarily about AMD and GeForce.

The new laptops include the ASUS TUF A14/A16, Zephyrus G16, and ProArt PX13/P16. Additionally, MSI will present the Stealth A16 AI+. A full list of ASUS laptops arriving at Computex is available, featuring models based on Intel, AMD, and Qualcomm technologies, with a clear focus on AMD.
