ASUS teases Pascal mobile with a 3DMark 11 score
And that score is mighty good, maybe even too good for a single GPU ? On the ROG website they posted an entry called 'The Future of Gaming Laptops - A glimps'. Now nothing is confirmed, but that has to be Mobile Pascal.
And likely in some sort of SLI setup, or perhaps even external liquid cooled in the G series Notebooks? Anyhow they are showinng a score from 3DMark 11, topping even a Titan X and Radeon R9 295x2. Could there be a mobile GP104 based GPU after all in June/July ?

ROG is making such a leap as we speak, R&D has agreed to let us peek inside the secret labs to see what the future holds. Of the small bits of info we are allowed to disclose, we are already excited! What we can say is that one of the highlights from the lab is an overclockable gaming laptop that will rival even gaming desktops. We were told it is a concept machine and thus they are still in the process of making it even more powerful. The exclusive info about to be revealed is without overclocking but is already faster than any laptop on the planet (not including alternate futures or dimensions). Without overclocking this beast can score almost 21K (Performance) in 3DMark11, edging out even the mighty GTX Titan X in this benchmark!
nfortunately we are not allowed to reveal the specs, but we know you are very resourceful and capable of making good educated guesses! Overclocked performance on the latest benchmarks and specs will all come in due time. We will keep you updated, so stay tuned!
Here's something else to get you excited. COMPUTEX 2016 is coming up soon, you won't want to miss it!

That graph axis. The marketing is so strong.
Honestly not that unbelievable. They managed to shove a full GTX980 into a laptop. A 1070 is supposedly faster then a Titan X and will probably come in at 145-150w, 15-20w lower then a 980. So if they shove that into a laptop, boom done.
All you need to do after that is make some graphs where bars are twice as long as others despite being less then a few % apart and you become ASUS.
We've been discussing this over on NotebookReview forums and we've come to the conclusion it's a GTX 1080 in there. The Graphics Score of 34000 suggests that it's the GTX 1080 (seems like it could even be a smidgeon faster than the GPU scores I've seen for the 1080 too, which is weird). That whole rubbish with that messed up graph cutting off the X-axis and also showing the P Score just confuses matters tremendously, I do hate it when reviews do both of those things - it's nonsense! That's why you think it's the 1070, I mistakenly thought the same thing at first.

Honestly I have no idead how you jumped to the conclusion that this is a pascal 11 GPU. Everything points to a GTX 1080m. I feel lost...

on the ROG page they mention new strix series Gaming line-up and a laptop under the name ROG Strix GL502.
check the PR all specs there except the GPU.
maybe this is it?
despite what you think about asus, if the benchmark is true and its actually got pascal in it is think its darn impressive.
maybe not the GL502VT it got the GTX 970M.

"Pascal 11 GPU" you say, you're getting confused with Polaris 11? The 3DMark11 GPU score of 34000 is massive, the P score is a lot lower due to the laptop CPU - that's why the P-Score is only on the same level as that of the Titan X example in the graph, the desktop CPU is more powerful. They're a really confusing set of graphs that Asus have chosen, so it's confusing everyone. The Graphics score of 34000 as seen in the 3DMark11 screenshot is above or equal to that of the GTX 1080 - it's a GTX 1080 in that laptop, not a 1080M at any rate.
(Here's a link to a review of the GTX 1080 where you can see the Graphics Score in 3DMark11, it got 29418 points, whereas the Asus laptop got 34000, so it's at least a GTX 1080 in that laptop: http://www.kitguru.net/components/graphic-cards/zardon/nvidia-gtx-1080-graphics-card-review/6/)
EDIT: or it could just be GTX 980 in sli in a laptop - but that would be VERY boring! (as it's been done before already & is not news).
