There are a few fascinating particulars right here. First, the slides say that the entire playing cards will use GDDR7 reminiscence, which is one thing the rumor mill has unanimously reiterated for near a 12 months. It appears like some fashions are getting an improve, too. If Nvidia retains with its present naming scheme, the RTX 5080 will include 16GB of GDDR7, which is an improve from the 12GB we noticed on the cellular RTX 4080.
You possibly can see the total breakdown of chips under, which reveals one shock. There’s a thriller GPU right here. The GN22-X7 12GB doesn’t have a comparable model from the present era. It’s the one 12GB mannequin inthe vary, and it’s utilizing the identical board as the 2 highest-end fashions. That might imply Nvidia is already engaged on one thing like an RTX 5070 Ti, or maybe a lower-end model of the RTX 5080.
That latter state of affairs might play out. Current rumors say that the desktop RTX 5080 might be much less of an improve than anticipated, and Nvidia may observe with its cellular lineup.
Even with six new fashions, the leaked slides present that Nvidia will keep a number of older fashions in laptops. It exhibits Nvidia carrying ahead the RTX 4050 and RTX 3050 that we’ve seen within the present era, in addition to the RTX 2050. It appears like that final card will ultimately get replaced with the RTX 3050, although with a cutdown 4GB of VRAM.
Though that is the primary main leak we’ve seen round RTX 50-series GPUs, it doesn’t imply the entire info is correct. There’s no saying how outdated these slides are, and there’s nonetheless loads of time for Nvidia to vary its plans.
Presently, we count on Nvidia is announce its first RTX 50-series GPUs towards the again half of this 12 months. It usually reveals new generations at its GPU Expertise Convention (GTC) within the fall, with the highest-end desktop choices arriving earlier than cellular. On condition that, we should always hear extra about RTX 50-series cellular graphics initially of subsequent 12 months.
