This is the next generation GPU. The Radeon is a last generation model that you have been able to buy for awhile now. What you are asking for currently exists and is something you can buy on their website right now and upgrade your older laptop:

Ah, I see. Well cool, that's actually pretty neat then, reasonably, at least in terms of today's ridiculous GPU market, price. Maybe they will be the ones to break the curse then and I can have a laptop that can actually treat like a desktop.

Could you not just get an eGPU dock, and do it that way?

Nah, unfortunately they are just as beholden to the GPU makers as any of us. More than larger laptop OEMs for sure.

A future Intel Arc module may be the only hope, but that's quite a hope.

I just got a 10L SFF desktop I can put in a suitcase, heh...
