Since when has a mobile GPU ever been up to speed with a desktop equivalent?

My laptop when bought brand new has a gtx 780m in it. compared to a standard 780 it is nowhere near the same performance.

Since when has a mobile GPU ever been up to speed with a desktop equivalent?
Since last gen, where Nvidia started using the same names (and GPUs) for their mobile variants as then did for their desktop variants. From the Notebookcheck article:
This wasn't really an issue with Pascal GPUs because the mobile GTX 1060, GTX 1070, and GTX 1080 were only within 5 to 15 percent of their respective desktop GTX 1060, GTX 1070, and GTX 1080 counterparts on average.
So they've kept the habit of not using unique names for mobile, but apparently gone back to having significant performance differences between mobile and desktop versions.
