Laptop giants Razer, LG, and Lenovo have jumped the gun, prematurely confirming upcoming systems equipped with NVIDIA’s unannounced RTX 5060 and RTX 5050 GPUs. Slated for an official NVIDIA reveal in two weeks—alongside desktop variants—these entry-level GPUs aim to broaden the RTX 50 series lineup, following the rocky, stock-limited launch of higher-end models like the RTX 5090 and 5080.
Key Details:
- LG Gram Pro 16: Features the RTX 5050 8GB (TDP unconfirmed) and launches in Q2 2024, targeting premium ultraportables.
- Lenovo IdeaPad Pro 5: Offers an RTX 5050 with a 65W TDP (Max-P?), paired with a 70W CPU in a 135W total system power design.
- Razer Blade 16: Flagship Ryzen AI 300 laptop boasts the RTX 5060 with 8GB GDDR7 and 15W Dynamic Boost, matching the RTX 5070’s memory specs.
Speculative Notes:
- The RTX 5050 may debut NVIDIA’s GB207 GPU architecture, while the laptop RTX 5060/5050 could use GDDR7 (vs. rumored GDDR6 for desktops).
- NVIDIA’s official specs remain under wraps, leaving CUDA cores and exact TGP ranges unconfirmed.
With laptop makers already teasing specs, NVIDIA’s imminent launch aims to solidify its next-gen entry-level GPU strategy—but questions linger about performance tiers and availability timelines. Stay tuned for the official reveal.
