Amd radeon rx vega 56 mobile reduces its tdp to 120w
Table of contents:
Acer Predator Helios 500 became known as the first gaming laptop that will have a 100% AMD hardware version in many years, specifically it was talking about a Ryzen 7 2700 together with an AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 Mobile graphics card. New data on the latter shows that AMD has gone to great lengths to keep its power consumption under control.
AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 Mobile faces the GeForce GTX 1070
The AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 has a TDP of 190W, a very high figure that poses serious difficulties when putting it inside a laptop. Fortunately, the manufacturer has done a great job of optimizing the AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 Mobile version to reduce your TDP to 120W, a figure perfectly compatible with notebook cooling.

In this way, the AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 Mobile has a TDP only 5W higher than the GeForce GTX 1070 for laptops. Early Computerbase tests show that the AMD version of the Acer Predator Helios 500 offers a level of energy efficiency quite similar to the processor version of the Intel Core i9-8950HK alongside the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070.

For now we do not know the price of the AMD version of the Acer Predator Helios 500, in case it is significantly cheaper than the one powered by Intel + Nvidia, it can be a really interesting option for demanding users, since both render a very similar shape.
This shows that the AMD Vega architecture can be quite good with energy efficiency, something that AMD has had to sacrifice in order to stand up to the GeForce GTX 1080 performance in desktop versions of the cards.
