Även om MSI inte har försökt besegra klassens bästa med sin Alpha 15 har de tagit fram ett paket som på ett diskret sätt utmanar den mittenskiktsmarknad som Intel och NVIDIA hittills har dominerat. I korthet står Alpha 15 för ett första steg in på en marknad där AMD kan tänkas få fäste.
Den viktigaste egenskapen hos Alpha 15 är Raden RX 5500M GPU:n som är baserad på AMD:s Navi-arkitektur. GPU:n, som tillverkats i en 7 nm-process, hamnar på papperet mellan GeForce GTX 1650 och GTX 1660 Ti Max-Q, vilket våra tester med förhandsmodellen bekräftar. Men det bör nämnas att spannet över möjliga resultat för tillfället är stort. Som exempel, i en del spel presterar inte RX 5500M bättre än GTX 1650 samtidigt som den når samma nivåer som GTX 1660 Ti Max-Q i andra. Totalt sett hamnar den någonstans mellan dessa.
Med en Ryzen 7 3750H processor och en ny Radeon RX 5500M GPU kan MSI Alpha 15 för vissa spel tävla med bärbara speldatorer som innehåller en Core i5-9300H och en GeForce 1660 Ti Max-Q.
Om enheten blir en framgång för AMD och MSI beror på vad Alpha 15 kommer att kosta när den släpps. Tidig information antyder att den kommer kostar runt 10.000 kronor och 11.000 kronor för modeller med 120 Hz respektive 144 Hz, ett pris som placerar Alpha 15 över modeller med Core i5-9300H och GTX 1650, som oftast kostar en bra bit under 10.000 kronor. Men laptops med GTX 1660 Ti Max-Q kostar oftast mer än 10.000 kronor, vilket sätter RX 5500M i en bättre situation. Vi misstänker att valet mellan de tre grafikchippen också kommer bero på vilka funktioner datorn de placeras i har.
Totalt sett har Alpha 15 gett oss ett positivt intryck av hur Radeon RX 5500M och RDNA-arkitekturen fungerar i en laptop. Det verkar som att det återigen kommer bli ett reellt val att välja mellan AMD och NVIDIA, även om det återstår att se hur långt AMD kan ta sig på marknaden för toppskiktsmaskiner. Ett som är säkert är att mer kraftfulla bärbara grafikchip än RX 5500M nog är på väg.
