Eliminate days or weeks of setup. Start running GPU-accelerated AI immediately with the the Focus Deep Learning Suite. Reduce TensorFlow jobs from 8 hours to 20 minutes and render Blender scenes many times faster than proprietary Unix® laptops that cost twice as much. Write once and deploy to industry-standard Ubuntu® 20.04 LTS
Start running GPU-accelerated AI immediately with the Focus Deep Learning Suite. Use the PyCharm IDE to develop within the industry-standard Anaconda environment. Instruct the suite to install and test popular AI tools including TensorFlow GPU, PyTorch GPU, Jupyter Notebook GPU, MXNet GPU, and Theano. We ensure the CUDA, cuDNN, and TensorRT libraries you need are installed, upgraded, and tested daily.
Run TensorFlow 20-25x (2,500%) faster than popular Unix® laptops that do not offer Nvidia® RTX GPUs yet cost far more.

The RTX 3080 MaxQ Focus is faster than 95% of devices tested[4]. The OptiX backend is twice as fast as CUDA and many times faster than CPU rendering, and it is only available with Nvidia RTX GPUs. Blender rendering on the M2 is many times faster and more stable than rendering on popular Unix® laptops that cost twice as much.

All Benchmarks were run with the AC power plugged-in with High Performance selected from the included widget. Compositing was disabled using the included kubuntu-f12 shortcut. In all cases, the maximum GPU temperature recorded was 73°C and maximum fan volume was 42dB two feet from screen center.
GFXBench tests were run at 1080p offscreen. Unigine Heaven Ultra settings include Ultra preset, 1080p, normal tessellation, and 8x anti-aliasing. Unigine Heaven Medium settings include Medium preset, 1080p, normal tessellation, and 2x anti-aliasing. Basemark settings use high content quality and bc7 compression at 4k (3,840×2,160).
All results show average FPS/Score. Where no score is provided by the benchmark, average FPS alone is shown.
