seems like nvidia is removing the max-p and max-q namings, so only one name (like rtx 3060) with variable wattage, and OEM also decides whether to include features such as dynamic boost 2.0, advanced optimus, whispermode 2.0 or not.

good thing is according to jarrod's tech, nvidia will show the TGP and supported features in the driver control panel, pretty neat feature if one likes to go to shop to physically check the laptop before buying.

but if one buys online, then will need to check the listed specs (if the info are listed) and check reviews (maybe inaccurate too since some laptops have regional differences).

available wattages:
3060 : 60 - 115w
3070 : 80 - 125w
3080 : 80 - 150w+

seeing this, one may buy a 3060 laptop and it may outperform a 3070 laptop, if not careful.

Hopefully OEM will list their gpu full spec and features.

update:

an article by the verge stated that an nvidia spokesperson said they now require laptop makers to list tgp, clockspeeds and features.
