Nvidia RTX 5060 Laptop GPU to feature GDDR7 memory and a lower TDP

Nvidia’s next-generation laptop GPUs should be more power-efficient than their predecessors

At an event from Shenzhen Hasee Compute Co. (Hasee), Wu Haijun, the company’s chairman, released new information about Nvidia’s RTX 50 series  laptop GPUs. The chairman claimed that Nvidia’s laptop RTX 50 series GPUs would feature GDDR7 memory, and that they would feature lower TDPs than their predecessors. This will lower the cooling requirements of next-generation gaming laptops, and increase their battery life.

Specifically, Nvidia’s RTX 5060 laptop GPU reportedly requires 115W of power and feature GDDR7 memory. This is 25W less than the 140W GDDR6-powered laptop RTX 4060. Sadly, the exact memory configuration of this GPU is unknown.

Assuming that Nvidia’s laptop RTX 5060 is more performant than its predecessor, it looks like Nvidia has delivered impressive power efficiency gains with their next-generation “Blackwell” GPU architecture.

Videocardz noted that this lower power rating for Nvidia’s RTX 50 series is backed up by a leaked slide from Clevo (Below). This seemingly confirms Nvidia’s plans to release RTX 50 series laptop GPUs with lower power targets. This suggests that Nvidia has boosted their power efficiency across their RTX 50 product range.

Based on this information, it looks like Nvidia’s upcoming GDDR7-powered RTX 50 laptop GPUs may be thinner and lighter than their predecessors. After all, lower power draw means lower cooling requirements.

Currently, Nvidia’s RTX 50 series of laptop GPUs are expected to release sometime in 2025.
