Exciting Details Unveiled About NVIDIA's Upcoming GeForce RTX 5060 "Blackwell" Laptop GPU

In a recent event organized by Hasee, a Chinese laptop manufacturer, the company's chairman Wu Haijun shared exciting information about NVIDIA's upcoming GeForce RTX 5060 "Blackwell" laptop GPU. Industry insider Golden Pig Upgrade was present at the event and managed to gather some details about the card set to be launched next year. The RTX 5060 is expected to be the first in the market to feature GDDR7 memory, aligning with earlier leaks that suggested NVIDIA's entire Blackwell lineup would adopt this new standard. This upgrade is anticipated to bring significant improvements in bandwidth and potentially increased VRAM capacities in other SKUs.

One of the most intriguing aspects is the reported performance of the RTX 5060. Wu mentioned that this laptop SKU could offer performance comparable to the current RTX 4070 laptop GPU. It is expected to surpass the RTX 4070 in ray tracing scenarios and match or come close to its rasterization performance.

What makes this leap in capabilities even more impressive is the chip's reduced power consumption, with a maximum TGP of 115 W compared to the RTX 4060's 140 W. The reported power efficiency gains are not limited to the RTX 5060 alone. Wu indicated that the entire Blackwell lineup will experience significant reductions in power draw, potentially decreasing overall system power consumption by 40 to 50 watts in many Blackwell models.

While specific technical details are still limited, it is believed that the RTX 5060 will utilize the GB206 GPU die paired with 8 GB of GDDR7 memory, likely running at 28 Gbps in its initial iteration.
