The high-end gaming market is heating up again as we see competition from both Nvidia and AMD. In a debut working with Dell, AMD has launched its all-new RX 7900M, which is now the fastest mobile GPU ever developed by the company. To be included in high-performance gaming notebooks, the RX 7900M can simply challenge the RTX 4080. Let's explore the features and specifications of this new AMD Radeon RX 7900M GPU for gaming notebooks and see how it stacks up against the RTX 4080 notebook GPU!

Announced in a press release, the AMD Radeon RX 7900M is the company's fastest AMD Radeon notebook graphics ever developed. The GPU is based on the RDNA 3 architecture-based graphics card built from the ground up to bring advanced graphics performance to future gaming laptops. The RX 7900M is based on the Navi 31 processor, so it is the first notebook GPU based on a chipset design (which consists of several small components). GPUs built on a chipset design offer many advantages over monolithic designs. According to AMD, the RDNA 3 architecture delivers "next generation performance" and "leadership performance per watt."

AMD has teamed up with Dell to make the Alienware m18 the first to benefit from and be labeled as the "ultimate AMD Advantage PC." The new gaming PC uses the Ryzen 9 7945HX processor along with the newly revealed RX 7900M GPU. AMD offers this new laptop GPU with 16 GB of GDDR6 VRAM and up to 180W, giving gamers a high video memory capacity and wattage that they will appreciate. Nvidia's RTX 4080 (laptop GPU) comes with 12GB of GDDR6 VRAM capacity, so without getting into the performance numbers, it's already a leg up on the competition thanks to the RX 7900M's 33% higher VRAM capacity.

AMD says this GPU is perfect for 1440p and beyond for the latest games. According to the company, a performance comparison between Nvidia RTX 4080 and AMD Radeon RX 7900M mobile GPUs reveals that AMD's chip is 7% faster on average in selective games. This included Far Cry 6 and Doom Eternal, with ray tracing enabled. However, the RTX 4080 is faster in other titles and probably has better RT performance overall compared to the AMD equivalent.
