AMD’s Vega architecture finally goes mobile, but that has nothing to do with the RX Vega Mobile chips that AMD teased back in January. No, the recently announced Predator Helios 500 from Acer is seemingly sporting an uncut desktop AMD RX Vega 56 GPU within its fairly sizeable laptop chassis.
Acer has adopted a desktop GPU and spliced it into a chassis with capable-enough cooling and power delivery to keep their Vega graphics silicon running at reasonable clockspeeds under load. This RX Vega 56 GPU won’t be entirely unleashed due to the limitations from power and thermals, so is likely to feature reduced clockspeeds compared to the reference desktop RX Vega 56 graphics card.

Despite the obvious TDP and power restrictions usually associated with squeezing a full-sized desktop GPU into a small mobile package, previous implementations have been pretty successful going down this route. Even without Nvidia’s Max-Q space-saving tech, gaming laptops have been getting pretty thin and lightweight.
When it comes to AMD GPUs, however, the options have been slightly more limited. The Asus ROG Strix GL702ZC also stuffed an RX 580 within a 17.3 inch chassis, and the polaris RX 580 didn’t perform half bad, either.
