1070 Max-Q better card than 1080 Max-Q for many reasons.
Here are some facts.
1060 Max-Q is 11% slower than 1060 Mobile but 53% faster than 1050ti Mobile.
1070 Max-Q is 18% slower than 1070 Mobile but 25% faster than 1060 Mobile.
1080 Max-Q is 12% slower than 1080 Mobile but 0% faster than 1070 Mobile.
1080 Max-Q is only GPU that is not faster than its lower tier mobile GPU.
1080 Max-Q is 18% faster than 1070 Max-Q
1070 Max-Q is 52% faster than 1060 Max-Q
1070 Max-Q has much higher performance jump from its lower tier Max-Q card.
Based on Asus Zephyrus GX501VI and GX501VS reviews,
1080 Max-Q temperature goes up to 80°C on load, whereas
1070 Max-Q temperature goes up to 70°C on load.
In which it gives 1070 Max-Q a headroom to overclock, reducing performance difference with 1070 mobile and 1080 Max-Q, while
1080 Max-Q will throttle if overclocked.
To conclude
Due to the nature of 1080's high TGP, Max-Q version of 1080 has worst efficiency, performing much like a 1070 card.
1070 Max-Q a smarter choice for the Max-Q Laptop for its performance efficiency and better acoustic. [Jan '18nday76]
The RX 580 launched this week and is AMD’s latest flagship GPU which is based on a second generation Polaris architecture. The 580 is a refresh of the RX 480 which was released just 10 months ago. Modifications to the architecture have resulted in improved thermals and increased clock speeds by around 10%. The RX 580 will come with either 4GB or 8GB of high-bandwidth GDDR5 memory. Exact pricing for this mid-range chip remains to be seen, but the RX 500 series is likely to cannibalize sales of AMD’s 400 series. Performance wise, the RX 580 is in direct competition with NVIDIA’s popular GTX 1060 6GB which is now 9 months old. Perhaps after last year’s ill timed head to head release of the RX 480 and the faster but similarly priced GTX 1060 (a standoff which NVIDIA seem to have won based on market share), AMD are attempting to draw back some market share with the newer, slightly upgraded RX 580.
