Within the mobile GPUs there are Max-Q (lower power) and Max-P (highest performance) variants.

Yeah, thanks. I think the author mixed up some terms.
Anyway, the RTX 30XX series is shaping up to be quite an improvement over their RTX 20XX series counterparts.

A couple of Asus ROG Strix laptops have been spotted being tested on Geekbench and both featured potent Ryzen 5000/GeForce RTX 30 series combinations. A Ryzen 7 5800H was paired off with a GeForce RTX 3070 laptop GPU while an AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX teamed up with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 mobile GPU.

I am kind of a newbie, but what is the difference between laptop GPU and mobile GPU ? Like it is mentioned in the article RTX 3070 'laptop' GPU & RTX 3080 'mobile' GPU.
I thought there were only two categories mainly in Nvidia GPUs, 'desktop' for PCs mostly and 'mobile' for laptops mostly (not considering the Ti, Max-Q,P variants).
Is there another laptop category too, taking the total categories to 3 ?

Also, I believe RTX 30-XX series 'mobile' GPUs are yet to be unveiled  ( on12 Jan at the CES 2021) or maybe Asus already got their hands on them..
