Nvidia and the laptop market is going to be harder for them with Intel and AMD able to do APU's, thou i expect in a few years Nvidia will have something coming.
Remains to be seen, but I persoanlly think it wont be such a huge blow. Considering all leaks untill now report the new GPUs from both AMD and NVIDIA as being at least 2x as powerfull as current gen, Then a 3060 card would be equivalent to what would be a GT 4040 or GT 4030 if NVIDIA still made such low-end SKUs, They will probably still have an MX GPU stronger than AMD/Intel APUs and if you want serious gaming prowess then you'd need discrete GPU on the laptop. But for any games 2022 or older this APU will be a beast.

If you don't care about 4K, I think these APUs will be able to deliver solid performance even beyond 2022.

It's not so much the performance but the power needed for the APU's gives a huge boost to battery life and that is something nvidia can't do well on against APU's in thin and light.

This.
The whole reason why Phoenix is such a big deal is because it simplifies production and testing. The performance targets are vital, but it's more that the performance targets as a standalone chip is the key factor. Even if it's weaker than a dedicated GPU that it's supposed to match, like an RTX 3060, it will still be worth it for laptops developers to use the APU variant instead.
