Its boost clock is also much lower, at 1,836MHz versus 2,581MHz, but some downgrading is inevitable for mobile silicon.

It has a 336-square-mm die and 17.2 billion transistors like the desktop Radeon RX 6700 XT, though it drops to 10GB of GDDR6 memory versus 12GB 2,304 processing cores versus 2,560 and a 160-bit instead of 192-bit memory bus.

The Delta 15's most intriguing component is its Radeon RX 6700M GPU, AMD's answer to Nvidia's mobile GeForce RTX 3070. Nonetheless, the label is an encouraging sign that a big tech company realizes buying a gaming PC (especially for parents buying for kids) should be simpler than it is. The battery requirement is ambitious, though it'd be hard to sell a midrange or high-end gaming laptop today without the other two. The Delta 15 exceeds AMD's requirements-a 144Hz or faster display, NVMe SSD storage, and 10 hours of video playback on battery power. Given that the Delta 15 uses AMD's latest platform, it should have supported PCIe Gen 4.Īll that hardware qualifies the Delta 15 as an AMD Advantage laptop, a label intended to assure buyers that they're getting a high-performance gaming notebook that can also work well for everyday use. The machine can accommodate a second M.2 SSD, but both slots are restricted to PCIe Gen 3 drives. It sports AMD's potent eight-core, 3.2GHz (4.4GHz turbo) Ryzen 7 5800H processor, 16GB of dual-channel DDR4-3200 memory, a 1080p screen with 240Hz refresh rate, and a 1TB solid-state drive loaded with Windows 10 Home. The MSI Delta 15 reviewed here is available at Best Buy. But if Team Red has your number, the Delta 15's all-AMD call is hard to ignore. Alienware's m15 Ryzen Edition R5 and Lenovo's Legion 5 Pro remain our top picks among mid-priced gaming rigs, assuming you're willing to live with a Team Green GPU. Given the MSI's high-end focus, we'd also like to see PCI Express Gen 4 storage and better input devices. But though its performance is impressive, it comes at the expense of heat and fan noise. Also boasting an eight-core Ryzen 7 processor and a 240Hz high-refresh display, the Delta 15 is a force to be reckoned with. Watch out, Nvidia-AMD's 'Navi' graphics silicon has gone mobile in MSI's Delta 15 ($1,699 as tested), the first gaming laptop we've seen with the Radeon RX 6700M GPU.
