Both the laptops share the same i7-10870H processor paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070. There’s a difference in the variant of the RTX 3070 installed; the GE66 Raider features the RTX 3070 Max-P as it is targeted towards gamers while the GS66 Stealth features RTX 3070 Max-Q variant as it is targeted towards people who require a sleek design.

The Max-P variant of RTX 3070 features a boost clock speed of up to 1620 MHz along with a TGP of 115W. On the other hand, the Q-variant operates at a boost clock speed of up to 1290 MHz and an 80W TGP.

As for the scores, the Max-P variant scored 27940 points in 3DMark Fire Strike (Graphics), while the Max-Q model only scored 21337 points concluding that the P variant is 31% faster.

Despite NVIDIA officially encouraging OEMs in public statements to clearly list TGPs and clock speeds for their RTX 30 Laptop GPUs, MSI did not comply with this; instead MSI is providing some misleading information to their customers ans they will end up purchasing GS66 Stealth laptop (with 30% slower GPU) rather than GE66 Raider.
