The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop GPU is already flexing its muscles in a leaked Geekbench benchmark, giving us a glimpse of the performance leap it brings over the previous generation.

Just days after its official unveiling, the RTX 5080 Laptop GPU has appeared in an OpenCL test on Geekbench (via Benchleaks), courtesy of an Alienware 18 Area-51 gaming laptop. While OpenCL performance isn't a direct indicator of gaming prowess, it can give an idea of the capabilities of Nvidia's next-generation mobile GPU.

The benchmark confirms that the RTX 5080 Laptop GPU features 60 SMs (7680 CUDA cores) and 16 GB of GDDR7 memory, as previously rumoured. The GPU reportedly reached a maximum clock speed of 1.5 GHz during the test, although higher clocks are expected in optimised scenarios.

In the OpenCL test, the RTX 5080 Laptop GPU achieved a score of 190,326 points. This represents an 18% increase over the RTX 4080 Laptop GPU and even surpasses the RTX 4090 Laptop GPU by 6%, based on the official Geekbench chart. It's uncertain whether the benchmark was conducted with the latest drivers, meaning these numbers might not be final.

KitGuru says: Would you be happy if the Nvidia RTX Laptop GPU's generational uplift was the same 18% in games as it's in Geekbench's OpenCL test?
