According to Notebookcheck, NVIDIA has decided to abandon Max-Q and Max-P mobile SKU naming. This means that customers will no longer be able to distinguish between the low TGP and high TGP versions of the graphics card unless the company explicitly specifies itself.
Buying next-generation notebook computers may be more complicated than before. It is said that NVIDIA is now canceling the Max-Q and Max-P naming for its mobile SKU, which actually means that notebook manufacturers will no longer list whether their notebook computers support this power limiting technology.
Notebook computer manufacturers will not have to force the use of a specific Max-Q TGP version on the specifications, but will have more flexibility in adjusting this value. Earlier this month, NVIDIA announced its third third-generation Max-Q technology using Ampere’s standalone mobile graphics card, but did not mention that we will no longer see the technology listed in the product name.
In the end, this will cause a lot of confusion for customers, who are no longer told which Max-Q model to buy. After making the new changes, even the mature Max-P and Max-Q versions can no longer be distinguished. Customers will need to check this information from the notebook manufacturer or wait for detailed testing.
