At the GTC China 2019 conference, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang compared a Maxwell 980M-equipped Lenovo Y900 with a Lenovo Y740, powered by an RTX 2080 Max-Q GPU. The presentation showcased how Max-Q technology enabled substantially thinner, lighter, and longer-lasting laptops to perform much faster than earlier models. The 980M obviously didn't look that great in the comparison. However, the real eyebrow-raiser was a slide that then claimed that the 2080 Max-Q was faster than the upcoming ninth-gen consoles' GPUs. The Xbox Series X and PS5 are set to be powered by GPUs that use AMD's RDNA architecture. Nvidia's claim that the 2080 Max-Q is faster raises questions about the expected performance of the consoles. The evidence so far points to the ninth-gen consoles having GPUs that are at least as fast, if not faster, than the RX 5700 XT.
