Alienware M18 Debuts With The Fastest laptop GPU
AMD has introduced its most powerful laptop GPU, the Radeon RX 7900M, and Dell has announced that the Alienware M18 will be the first laptop to feature it.
Before we delve into the laptop’s details, let’s discuss why the RX 7900M is the fastest available. According to AMD, the RX 7900M outperforms the Nvidia RTX 4080 mobile GPU, with a 7% average frame rate advantage and a significant 27% improvement in titles like Starfield. However, this increased performance comes at the cost of higher power consumption, as the RX 7900M can draw up to 180 watts, while the RTX 4080 mobile operates at a more modest 110 watts. The RX 7900M also incorporates AMD’s FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR 3) upscaling technology, which greatly enhances frame rates in various games.
