As we can read in the Polish portal PurePC, it seems that suspicions about a secret pact in which the laptop manufacturers would only mount NVIDIA mid-range and low-end GPUs in laptops with AMD processor are true , and, although there had been speculation and rumors previously, it seems that finally there was a agreement between Intel and NVIDIA that blocked the development of laptops with AMD Renoir processors and GPUs above RTX 2070.

Many will remember when the reason that came to light was the limitation of PCI Express lanes by the CPU, where a maximum of 8 PCI Express 3.0 lanes e considered too low to be able to connect an RTX 2070 or an RTX 2080 , something that has proven to be a cover for this real reason, which may come with legal consequences.

This information comes from one of the OEMs to the public, who has spoken anonymously, and it is recognized that this situation was totally artificial, probably in exchange for large sums of money , because high-performance laptops with processors AMD Ryzen and high-end NVIDIA GPUs have been searched, without success , by enthusiasts around the world.
