In the quiet hum of pre-announcement season, an Asus ROG Strix G15 surfaced in regulatory filings carrying hardware the world has not yet seen in a laptop — AMD's Ryzen 9 6900HX paired with Nvidia's RTX 3080 Ti. The leak arrives at a meaningful moment: Intel's Alder Lake has begun unsettling AMD's recent dominance, and the industry watches to see whether AMD's coming Zen 4 architecture can answer the challenge. CES 2022, just weeks away, will likely determine which company shapes the next era of gaming mobility.
