The Complete List of Gaming Laptops with MUX Switch (June 2022)
Every laptop in this has either a MUX Switch or Advanced Optimus, both are basically the same thing. increasing gaming performance up to 20%.
About This Table
Unlike other lists, this list ALSO has information ON:
GPU’s TGP (Wattage): Because it is an equally, if not a bigger, factor for gaming performance. The higher the TGP also known as TDP or wattage, the more power it can draw and thus the more framerates it can output.
You can learn more about what is GPU’s wattage here.
Ideally you want a laptop with a high TGP GPU (130W+) + MUX Switch will give you the best gaming performance for a specific GPU. There’s a youtuber who tested Dell G15 3060RTX against the 3070RTX, the 3060RTX beat it.
Source: A link corroborating the presence of a MUX Switch or Advanced Optimus. Note that only laptops with the specifications listed (CPU+GPU) will have a MUX Switch, do not buy models with different specifications (CPU+GPU).

- I am physicist and electrical engineer. My knowledge in computer software and hardware stems for my years spent doing research in optics and photonics devices and running simulations through various programming languages. My goal was to work for the quantum computing research team at IBM but Im now working with Astrophysical Simulations through Python. Most of the science related posts are written by me, the rest have different authors but I edited the final versions to fit the site's format.
