Futuristic-sounding leaks are fuelling speculation regarding upcoming next-generation Ada Lovelace laptop GPUs from NVIDIA, a company that’s known for its ongoing race to build the fastest and most futuristic consumer-focused graphics cards in the world. It will be interesting to see whether NVIDIA’s engineers crack the code for fully achieving their overarching vision with the upcoming RTX 50 series GPU codenamed Blackwell. Here’s what we can expect from NVIDIA’s high-performance mobile GPUs, based on current rumours around the RTX 50 series.
Graphics processing giant NVIDIA appears set to set the bar once again, thanks to an upcoming series of leaked GPUs. Respective members of the GeForce RTX 50 series – designed for mobile gaming, content creation and graphics rendering – appear ready to take those pursuits to the next level. According to the leak, GDDR7 memory marks NVIDIA’s talk of combining peak performance with power efficiency.
At the core of the leak are specifics about a range of models from the GeForce RTX 50 series. NVIDIA will offer high-end versions of its GPUs from the GeForce RTX 5090 with 16GB of GDDR7 memory all the way down to the GeForce RTX 5050 with 8GB of GDDR7 memory designed to reach the broadest range of needs and budgets when it comes to laptop gaming and productivity solutions.
The GeForce RTX 5080, in particular, deserves special consideration. Replacing the RTX 4080, it is rumoured that it will come out in both 16GB and 12GB GDDR7 flavours. This might be a strategic move by NVIDIA, as they try to adjust between high-end performance and memory capacity.
The leak doesn’t give us a specific date, but it seems that we might meet the GeForce RTX 50 series next year, at CES 2025. That means that NVIDIA might be unveiling its next-gen GPUs for laptops right on the heels of the next-gen Intel processors, the Arrow Lake series, and the AMD Fire Range processors. And this means a whole-scale shift for computing on laptops.
NVIDIA’s announcement of the GeForce RTX 50 series. With a move to GDDR7 memory, laptop gaming potential is set to be reset.That’s a huge potential gain in data bandwidth, ray-tracing and power efficiency that transforms the PC and laptop computing experience for creative and gaming users alike. Welcome to a whole new performance category of laptops.
From a garage-based Silicon Valley startup to a world-leading graphics processing powerhouse, NVIDIA has a rich history of innovation, ushered in by pioneering founders and continued by generations of leaders who, unwaveringly, have directed their focus towards development and discovery. In recent years, the GeForce RTX series has showcased NVIDIA’s prowess in GPU engineering, repeatedly setting gold standards for incredible performance and ensuring virtually limitless creativity and immersion for users. With the new and incoming GeForce RTX 50 series, NVIDIA’s future looks bright, unbound and exciting.
While we wait for the official announcement, the leak provides a tantalising glimpse as to NVIDIA’s future roadmap, and its potential to stake a claim as the new leader of the mobile GPU market. It reminds me of how, with every new GeForce release since NVIDIA’s Turing-based RTX 20 series debuted in 2018, NVIDIA quite consistently leapfrogs the previous generation. As each new GeForce series has come along and established new levels of performance or efficiency, it’s elevated expectations for the next generation. Based on NVIDIA’s trend to date, I have every confidence that RTX 50 series will totally demolish whatever expectations anyone might currently have for its predecessor. Kudos and bravo, NVIDIA! Your future looks bright, and 2025 is going to be an absolute banger of a year for laptop gaming and content creation, too.
