With a TGP of 175W, the RTX 3080 Ti Mobile will be the most powerful laptop GPU ever.
Desktop GPUs continue to consume more power as the number of compute power increases. With the debut of the RTX 3080 Ti Mobile, the first laptop GPU with a 175W TGP is in the works.
To date, the RTX 2080 Mobile has the greatest power consumption of any laptop GPU, with a TGP of 150W. However, with the introduction of the RTX 3080 Mobile, that consumption has been decreased to 115W. Because of the limited size of the heatsink on the RTX 3080 Ti Mobile, laptop cooling will be pushed to its limitations when the card is released. The card will provide an incredible 175W, pushing laptop cooling to its boundaries.
At this time, the exact number of Cuda Cores on the RTX 3080 Ti Mobile is unknown; however, all indications point to the fact that it will be built on the GA103 core and will have 7424 Cuda Cores. Also planned are a 256-bit bus and 16GB of GDDR6 memory running at 16Gbps, which will allow for a bandwidth of 512GB/s, which will have an impact on power consumption. The RTX 3080 Ti Mobile is scheduled to be unveiled with an RTX 3070 Ti Mobile with 8GB GDDR6 and 150W TGP on January 4, as well as new desktop products such as the RTX 3090 Ti and RTX 3050, so there will be plenty of new items to delight us during Nvidia's CES 2022 conference on January 4. We'll keep you informed as events unfold.

Isn't a "gaming" laptop pretty much a desktop replacement for people without space and/or need for a desktop? I always thought that - and not portability - was the main reason behind these SKUs.

It definitely is. At the 175 watts this shouldn't be called a laptop GPU. Technically APU (integrated graphics) are pretty much considered true laptop graphics processors given their power draw. In terms of proper laptop graphics performance the Apple M1 holds the crown for now. However, I think AMD may surpass them in the near future Zen 4 architecture APU as far as integrated graphics performance and possibly surpass in mobile cpu performance. Where M1 may be hard to top is in performance per watt and overall power draw given it's based on arm architecture when compared to X86 based processors; that's where hopefully Qualcom comes in to play.

Yes, for me at least and my old GT73VR with 1080 did lose only 5% to desktops. Now the difference is vastly bigger.

Mobile variants of the pascal gpus ware same. My 1060 mobile is bascially the 1060 desktop but 80w instead 120w so slightly lower core clock.

Eh, it seems like most of ppl here are not used to gaming laptops. To extract the most performance from your gaming laptop, you'll need to plug in it in - in a sense it's a portable (compact) desktop. And it has always been like that, nothing new. You got like 1 hour of battery life while playing games unplugged with reduced (but most of the time, still sufficient) framerate, but for normal stuff like web browsing, some light content creation softwares, battery life is pretty good because almost all mid/high end gaming laptops now have 90+ Whr battery (the limit is 100Whr, any higher than than and you can't bring your laptop on airplanes).
And most gaming brands also moved away from the DTR behemoth, flagship gaming laptops now are around 2.7-3.0kg for 17" version (around 4kg if we count the adapter - which is still lighter than old giants like GT76, Mothership, Area 51m,etc.). If you're into ultra portable performance laptops, there are many choices weighing from 1.8-2kg now (granted, they'll use lower wattage GPU version, but a 90-105W RTX3070 Laptop can still handle 1440p gaming very well).
