Nvidia RTX 50 Laptop GPUs to feature GDDR7 memory

During a recent media briefing, Wu Haijun, chairman of Shenzhen Hasee Computer, revealed some exciting details about the next-generation GeForce RTX 50 graphics cards designed for laptops. According to the chairman, these new GPUs, particularly the X60 laptop category, will be less power-hungry.

As pointed out by Golden Pig Upgrade (via Wccftech), the chairman announced that the upcoming Nvidia RTX xx60 laptop model is expected to have a 115W TGP, a notable reduction from the 140W TGP of the RTX 40 series. Additionally, it was noted that the whole laptop GPU series would feature GDDR7 memory, which most likely means that the same would go for the desktop parts.

These revelations align with earlier disclosures from a Clevo presentation, which hinted at reduced TGP for certain SKUs within the RTX 50 Blackwell laptop lineup. While the GN22-X11 and X9 SKUs are projected to maintain a TGP of 175W, the X7, X6, X4, and X2 SKUs are anticipated to see a decrease to 115W. Furthermore, the memory bus for the upcoming xx60 laptop GPU is expected to remain at 128 bits, potentially enabling 8 GB of GDDR7 memory.

It's important to note that the maximum TGP spec doesn't include all laptop configurations, with Nvidia's Max-Q models being a good example. The RTX 50 laptop GPU series launch is expected to coincide with the introduction of Intel's Core Ultra 200H, which should happen in early 2025.
