NVIDIA Announces the GeForce GTX 10 Series for Notebooks
NVIDIA today announced the GeForce GTX 10-series for notebooks. The lineup includes three SKUs - the GeForce GTX 1080 Mobile, the GTX 1070 Mobile, and the GTX 1060 Mobile. Thanks to huge energy-efficiency gains with the "Pascal" architecture and the new 16 nm silicon fab process, this round of NVIDIA's mobile GPUs aren't "gimped out" in comparison its desktop discrete GPU lineup, in that they SKUs don't feature fewer CUDA cores to their corresponding desktop counterparts.
The lineup begins with the GTX 1080 Mobile. Based on the GP104 silicon, this chip features all 2,560 CUDA cores, 160 TMUs, and 64 ROPs physically present on the chip. The chip is endowed with 8 GB of 256-bit GDDR5X memory ticking at 10 Gbps. The core clock speeds remain unknown. The GTX 1070 Mobile is an interesting SKU in that it is better endowed than its desktop counterpart. It features 2,048 CUDA cores (the desktop GTX 1070 features 1,920), 128 TMUs, 64 ROPs, and 8 GB of 256-bit GDDR5 memory running at 8 Gbps. This chip features 1443 MHz core, and 1645 MHz GPU Boost. At the bottom of the pile is the GTX 1060 Mobile. Based on the GP106 silicon, this chip features 1,280 CUDA cores, 80 TMUs, 48 ROPs, and 6 GB of 192-bit GDDR5 memory running at 8 Gbps; with clock speeds of 1405 MHz core, with 1569 MHz GPU Boost.

Gaming laptops!!! :D
But nice to se that the mobile space is getting some propper high end chips. Now we can start discusing a "desktop replacemnt"
but the price of these mxm cards is gonna be sky high like usual.
Seems logical as this configuration might be more power efficient, but this doesn't comes cheap as more shaders means lower yields as you must have more full functional shaders... Lower yields means lower availability and so little bit higher cost...
Now hopefully MSI keeps their promise and delivers GPU upgrade kits for their laptops.
Looking forward to getting my paws on 1070/1080.
So NV did this to ensure they will get better quantity for the desktop part (which should be needed much much more than the mobile part ) and still have good efficiency in the mobile part while still having same performance in both..
latest benchmarks indicates very close performance between the two, but we're still waiting for the official reviews and benchmarks to see how both compares in over all performance and power...
Mobile version is tad slower. Maybe in some AIO computers, with better thermals it could actually be faster.
Edit: forgot to add link.
Not that I was expecting anything different.
As desktop replacements, yeah why not, but then why not to buy a real desktop which you can upgrade later on, and which will provide also a very nice big screen.
The laptop, yeah, you could carry it to a lan party, but for dota, starcraft or counter strike you don't need much gpu power anyway, and even if you will want to play a more advanced game, the other people will also need to have very powerful computers, which in general is not the case. For sure there will be one or more which will have crappy integrated graphics which will struggle even with the above light titles.
I had friends which were saying, we need to push now to win as if more units will be on the screen the computer will not work anymore and we will loose :)
How do they want to keep the system cool
With a 180w gpu
