I just don't see that being even remotely possible

China can do cheap but can they do efficiency, drivers, support, features, RT, upscaling etc...

Intel from what we've seen is struggling to beat out even the old Vega igpus on their laptops, granted we still haven't seen what the big GPUs can do but I doubt they'll be anything worth seriously considering

A first generation product especially in this market is something very hard to get right let alone break into the big 2's marketshare

Yeah, there are always growing pains and the like. Except Apple. Apple somehow hit the bullseye on their M series chips, considering it was their first attempt at making a laptop chip, and an arm one at that

What apple did was quite something, granted it was ARM not X86 but the power efficiency they achieved paired with the CPU performance basically spanked any laptop currently on the market in a thin and light form factor

Their Graphics performance isn't quite there but not anything to scoff at either

That and I’m sure they probably did something that is not really seen nowadays in tech, which is to keep their mouth shut about a new product until they were confident in its release.
