In gaming environments it is extremely unlikely; this laptop has an i7-11370H which is a 4 core 8 thread processor 3.3GHz with boost up to 4.8GHz. The single core processing of this CPU going to be the fastest on the market, besting the 5900HX flagship of AMD. For any games made 2019 and prior you are extremely likely to see no bottle necking and likely best in class performance on this laptop. For the small but admittedly growing list of games that actually use more than 4 cores you will likely see a slight improvement on an AMD. For strictly gaming purposes I honestly think the 11370H is not only a good choice it will likely be the best benchmarking CPU aside from the 11370H and amazingly it pulls off that incredibly single core speed using only 35W. PCI-Express 4.0 will also play a role in increasing performance and the 11370H and possibly limiting any bottleneck concerns. Not only will it be ideal for most gaming scenarios but it will run much cooler and ASUS is boasting a 13 hours video playback battery on this laptop, likely thanks largely in part to the lower power consumption of the 11370H. I would caution this laptop if productivity is a goal as I think quad core is going to suffer but I am seeing lots of folks upset that the 11th gen I7 is a "rip off its just an i5" and thats just not true. the 11370H is over 30% faster than the 10300H. It does not appear that this laptop will have the Max-Q variety. the RTX 3070 Mobile is "max-q" when it is the 80W variety at 1290 MHz out of a possible 120W, 1620MHz (max-p). This laptop keeps the 80W lower power variety but boosted the clock to 1390MHz. It is much closer to the max-q side of the spectrum but might be a pretty good compromise since it will clock 100MHz higher without any tweaking and still run at the cooler temps. From everything I can tell this laptop really has the potential to be the true price to performance chamption of the RX30 lineup. I found most of the specifics for this laptop by looking up 2021 ASUS TUF Dash F15 which seems to be the new branding name for this TUF series.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I don’t see it bottlenecking the GPU. It is almost the same setup MSI is selling, but more affordable. It is just a 3070, not a 3090.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.11th gen i7 boost frequency up to 4.8Ghz, its lit
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.single core frequency boost up to 4.8Ghz, its lit.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Bottom line in my opinion, yes it will bottleneck are you kidding, 4 cores is 4 cores, period!!!
