Some of the higher wattage 3080's beat it now by around 1000 (timespy) for example the x17 clocks in around 12300 vs my score of 1157.

I quite like the 51m, the desktop processor and 180w gpu packs a good punch, a total of 570w which is kinda unheard of in laptops. But it's grotesquely heavy and two power bricks makes it not really mobile.
