It was recently revealed that many laptop manufacturers would not be indicating whether GeForce 30 Series mobile GPUs were of the Max-P or Max-Q variety, making it harder for buyers to identify the model that best suits their needs. Presently there are three base models, the GeForce RTX 3060, 3070, and 3080 mobile. ComputerBase obtained a list of the many variants.
The GeForce RTX 3060 mobile uses the GA106 GPU. Power has been reduced from 60 to 115 watts vs. the desktop version (170 watts). It also features 256 more CUDA cores but half the memory. Interestingly, the most powerful version of RTX 3060 mobile comes closest to resembling its desktop counterpart. The base clock is slightly higher, while the boost has been reduced.

The GeForce RTX 3080 mobile is based on the GA104 GPU. Even the most powerful version uses less than half the wattage of the Founders Edition. It also has 2560 fewer CUDA cores. Instead of 10 GB of 19 Gbps GDDR6 memory, it comes with either 8 GB or 16 GB operating at 12 Gbps or 14 Gbps on a 256-bit bus. One review has shown that it trades blows with RTX 3070 mobile and comes out ahead on some occasions.
