Question 1

What is the memory interface width of the GPU?  192-bit, 256-bit or 320-bit?

Accepted Answer

It is 256bit like the 3070. And remember this Mobile GPU has around 2500 less CUDA cores than the desktop 3080 version versus about 750 less for the RTX 3070. That is why the RTX 3080 is so slow compared to the desktop version. The RTX 3070 is more than enough for gaming and everything else one would need to do on a laptop. Not hating on the 3080. I'm just stating some facts.

Question 2

Does it have thunderbolt 3?

Accepted Answer

No, it does not seem to have this functionality!  It seems they forgot to add it to this model as it is on the AORUS 17G XC and the new 15P YD.

Question 3

Will this model have a mechanical keyboard? The previous 15g did, however this model does not specify.

Accepted Answer

This is the "Thin and Light" addition, which does not come with the mechanical keyboard. Also it is a plastic body.

Question 4

Can this laptop boot into linux?

Accepted Answer

Yes it can! I used Manjaro Linux on it all the time, and Ubuntu works as well. So that means that Arch and Debian based distros work. I'm sure the others do as well. There is no reason for them not to.

Question 5

Why is this RTX 3080 paired to 1920x1080 screen?????

Accepted Answer

because it's a laptop RTX 3080 which has lower specs than the real 3080

Question 6

Does this come with a webcam?

Accepted Answer

Yes

Question 7

If you bought it, how long did it take to arrive?

Accepted Answer

This particular model is backordered, usually takes 15-20 days to arrive, then an additional 2-5 days to ship out in the US.

Question 8

We need to know the actual wattage the GPU is designed to take?  (FYI: there is not MAXQ or MAXP anymore dictated by nvidia - it is up to the laptop manufacture to design how it works).

Accepted Answer

Max-q...   90w base that boosts to 105w when CPU load allows.

Question 9

Does this use 3080 Max-Q or Max-P?

Accepted Answer

It says Max-Q in the description.

Question 10

Does this use 3080 max-q or 3080 max-P?

Accepted Answer

I believe it is a MAX-Q because of its battery life, it also says in the description.
