Another notable change is that they both come with DDR5 memory at 4800MHz, up to 64GB. while storage is still of the PCIe4 x4 SSD variety and is max up to 4TB. The wattage of the GPU appears to be reduced a little, delivering 40W from the RTX 3050 Ti in the XPS 15 instead of 45W, and offering 60W from the RTX 3060 that’s in the XPS 17 rather 70W.
