Dell really messed up the launch of their brand new Alienware m15 R5 laptop which was meant to be their flagship offering. The company confirmed that it had intentionally crippled the GPU on its enthusiast laptop and one user has even filed a lawsuit against the company for false advertising.

So over the last week, it was found out that the Alienware m15 R5 laptop which comes with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobility GPU featured only 4608 CUDA Cores compared to the 5120 cores that are officially offered on the GPU. That's 512 fewer cores & apparently, Alienware had decided to go this route to conserve power and meet the thermal limits of their M15 R5 design.
