This year will be a bit different. Let\u2019s have a look at the timeline first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"632\" src=\"https:\/\/www.xmg.gg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/XMG-Roadmap-2022-FlowChart_v2-1024x632.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27431\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.xmg.gg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/XMG-Roadmap-2022-FlowChart_v2-1024x632.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.xmg.gg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/XMG-Roadmap-2022-FlowChart_v2-300x185.png 300w, https:\/\/www.xmg.gg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/XMG-Roadmap-2022-FlowChart_v2-768x474.png 768w, https:\/\/www.xmg.gg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/XMG-Roadmap-2022-FlowChart_v2-1536x948.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.xmg.gg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/XMG-Roadmap-2022-FlowChart_v2-2048x1264.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">XMG Laptop Roadmap 2022<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"plattform-ubersichten-fur-amd-intel-und-nvidia\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"amd-intel-and-nvidia-platform-overview\"><\/span>AMD, Intel and NVIDIA Platform Overview<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"planung-mit-intels-12-core-generation\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"our-plans-with-intel-core-12th-gen\"><\/span>Our plans with Intel Core 12th Gen<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see in the above table, we have a number of refresh models in the pipeline with Intel Core 12th Gen, also known as Alder Lake. The high-end models XMG NEO and XMG PRO will take priority in Q1 this year, other models will follow in Q2 and beyond. Most of these models are planned to launch with Intel Core i7-12700H, but we also have Core i9-12900H under consideration for some models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"planung-mit-amds-ryzen-6000-serie\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"our-plans-with-amd-ryzen-6000-series\"><\/span>Our plans with AMD Ryzen 6000 series<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Refresh models with AMD Ryzen 6000 are planned (e.g. XMG NEO 15) or under consideration. Generally speaking, models with AMD Ryzen 6000 will mostly launch after their Intel Core 12th Gen counterparts. This is due to the general R&amp;D timeline of these generations. CPU supply forecasts have been placed. If everything goes well, we hope to be able to launch and ship the first Ryzen 6000 models before the end of Q2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"planung-mit-nvidias-geforce-rtx-3080-ti-und-rtx-3070-ti\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"our-plans-with-nvidia-geforce-rtx-3070-ti-and-rtx-3080-ti\"><\/span>Our plans with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti and RTX 3080 Ti<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Both of these new Laptop GPUs from NVIDIA (also known as \u2018Ampere Refresh\u2019) will have their XMG debut in XMG NEO and XMG PRO series. Other models will follow. XMG NEO will support these cards with NVIDIA\u2019s maximum power levels of 150 Watts (RTX 3070 Ti) and 175 Watts (RTX 3080 Ti) respectively. XMG PRO will opt for a slightly more streamlined max. power limit of 155 Watt for RTX 3080 Ti. The new power limits are achieved by raising Dynamic Boost 2.0 from +15W to +25W in this generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"planung-mit-intel-arc-dgpus\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"our-plans-with-intel-arc-discrete-graphics\"><\/span>Our plans with Intel Arc Discrete Graphics<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We will have some opportunities to feature Intel Arc Graphics in some future models, but those are still in the planning stage and cannot be confirmed at this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"planung-mit-amd-radeon-rx-dgpus\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"our-plans-with-amd-radeon-rx-discrete-graphics\"><\/span>Our plans with AMD Radeon RX Discrete Graphics<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We might have some opportunity to feature AMD Radeon RX Discrete Graphics in a future model, but this is still in the planning stage and cannot be confirmed at this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"xmg-modellubersicht\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"xmg-product-overview\"><\/span>XMG Product Overview<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"plane-fur-die-xmg-neo-modellreihe\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"our-plans-for-xmg-neo-series\"><\/span>Our plans for XMG NEO series<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>XMG NEO will remain one of our most powerful laptop series and will be the first XMG model to be compatible with the liquid cooling solution XMG OASIS. XMG NEO will also be our first series to feature DDR5 memory. XMG NEO 15 has already been announced. Plans for XMG NEO 17 are still a little bit further out and will not materialize before the end of Q2 this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"plane-fur-die-xmg-pro-modellreihe\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"our-plans-for-xmg-pro-series\"><\/span>Our plans for XMG PRO series<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>XMG PRO is planned to get an all-new chassis, diverging from the Max-Q approach of the current model. XMG PRO will continue to be a more \u201creasonable\u201d counter-part to XMG NEO with slightly more moderate power limits and a more diverse set of I\/O ports, including a dedicated Mini DisplayPort. XMG PRO will remain on DDR4 memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"plane-fur-die-xmg-ultra-modellreihe\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"our-plans-for-xmg-ultra-series\"><\/span>Our plans for XMG ULTRA series<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As has been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/XMG_gg\/comments\/qkknn8\/news_our_plans_for_intel_core_12th_gen_alder_lake\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">previously discussed<\/a>, the future of XMG ULTRA series is currently unclear because of a lack of industry support for the MXM GPU form factor. XMG ULTRA will not be able to continue in its current form without some form of modular dedicated graphics. As such, XMG ULTRA is currently planned to remain on Intel Core 11th Gen Desktop CPU (Rocket Lake) with up to RTX 3080.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"plane-fur-die-xmg-core-modellreihe\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"our-plans-for-xmg-core-series\"><\/span>Our plans for XMG CORE series<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>XMG CORE series might experience some fundamental renewal this year. We are considering a switch to a Magnesium chassis to reach a lower system weight, but this might also increase the price. As such, XMG CORE series might move a little bit closer to the spot of the previous XMG FUSION series this year. Details on this will be further announced when ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"plane-fur-die-xmg-focus-modellreihe\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"our-plans-for-xmg-focus-series\"><\/span>Our plans for XMG FOCUS series<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>XMG FOCUS will remain our entry-level series. It launched in 2021 with RTX 3050 Ti. We might see a few nice upgrades on this series later this year. This will be announced at some point in Q2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"plane-fur-die-xmg-fusion-modellreihe\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"our-plans-for-xmg-fusion-series\"><\/span>Our plans for XMG FUSION series<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>XMG FUSION 15 with Intel Core i7-9750H and RTX 2070 has been going strong for over 2 years, but now it is time for a change. The new chassis will be slimmer and lighter and will sport new LCD panels with 16:10 screen ratio. Stay tuned for our announcement in the coming weeks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"verfugbarkeit-von-komponenten-und-preisgestaltung\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"supply-and-pricing\"><\/span>Supply and Pricing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The industry is still gripped by some form of a supply shortage. It is clear from the start that models with Intel Core 12th Gen and Ampere Refresh are priced higher than their previous 11th Gen counter-parts. We expect a similar trend for the AMD-powered models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several key component prices have risen again recently. Additionally, we saw large price increases in shipping costs between East Asia and Europe and increased cost for the production of certain chassis parts, especially those made of Aluminum and Magnesium-Alloy. Cities in Mainland China are expected to experience the latest variation of human malware. This might put additional stress on parts suppliers and assembly lines in the first half of 2022, making price forecasts somewhat difficult at the moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DDR5 memory supply is also expected to be tight at first, making models with DDR5 RAM significantly more expensive at launch. Supply for MLCC and other power-related components is as tight as ever, but manageable. Supply with next-gen AMD chipsets and CPUs is yet to be determined.

With considerable upgrades on thermals, including the innovation of XMG OASIS liquid cooling, we hope to be able to set a new standard for portable computing. At the same time we will be able to further streamline our portfolio towards portability, productivity and high-quality chassis designs. There will be a number of models with 16:10 screen ratio and with the competing CPU and GPU platforms from AMD, Intel and NVIDIA we will offer more diversity than ever before.
