A desktop RTX 3070 is 50-60% faster than a mobile RTX 3070. Which ofcourse is understandable.

It really isn't. Nvidia should be using clearly differentiated model numbers to represent two completely different lines. They did this to intentionally confuse customers.

Same for intel, there is a huge number of people who were asking me why their laptop with a dual-core I7 is slower than a desktop with an I3

They even did for a generation, with the 10xx series.

But their partners probably weren't happy that the highest end laptop sku was a xx60, so here we are again.

Yes the naming is very confusing but it is understandable that a desktop GPU can be faster than a laptop GPU.
