The latest wave of information for NVIDIA’s upcoming laptop GPUs has arrived courtesy of leaker Golden Pig Upgrade (via Wccftech) – the leaker quoted Hasee chairman Wu Haijun, stating that the next generation NVIDIA GPU uses GDDR7 VRAM, and the mid-range xx60-class SKUs has reduced TDP from 140W to 115W.
RTX 5060 Laptop GPU: Less Power, Much Faster
Based on what is said, the statement does corroborate the earlier leak from another laptop ODM, Clevo, of which its internal documents have revealed the unnamed “GN22” GPUs to feature GDDR7 and comes with reduced power envelope across the board (except the flagship, which remain at 175W TGP).
This new 115W figure also meant the maximum non-Dynamic Boost TGP is pushed down as well, from the 115W+25W to now 100W+15W instead. Despite the lower power limits, the performance level is said to match the existing RTX 4070 on raster workloads, while ray tracing performance will surpass this GPU.
In any case, expect the RTX 50 series to be revealed sometime next year, though you might only see the flagship desktop lineup initially, as with past GPU launches. It is worth noting that a launch near CES 2025 is likely.
Pokdepinion: Seems like Team Green is taking a different approach here, or just to avoid the power limits of mainstream laptop GPUs spiraling out of control.
