The tech world is buzzing with the latest revelations about NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 50 “Blackwell” Mobile GPUs, which have been unveiled through an updated PCI ID Repository. This exciting development showcases up to 13 SKUs, indicating a massive push in the mobile graphics segment.
NVIDIA is gearing up for a big splash with their GeForce RTX 50 “Blackwell” lineup, targeting both desktop and laptop platforms. While desktop enthusiasts have been eagerly anticipating these next-gen graphics cards, laptop users can also rejoice as NVIDIA prepares to launch a series of powerful mobile GPUs. These are expected to debut in cutting-edge laptops featuring the latest from Intel and AMD by CES 2025.
In earlier reports, it was noted that NVIDIA was crafting at least six distinct variants of the GeForce RTX 50 “Blackwell” Mobile GPU series. These will incorporate revolutionary new architectures alongside a fresh memory interface, GDDR7. Although the full core configurations remain under wraps, the recently decrypted PCI IDs provide a glimpse into the different variants available. A single GPU can host multiple SKUs, hence multiple PCI IDs are associated with one part.
The preliminary PCI IDs reveal a robust lineup for the mobile sector that includes RTX 5090, RTX 5080, RTX 5070 Ti, RTX 5060, and RTX 5050 variants. There had been buzz about an RTX 5080 Ti for laptops, but the latest indications suggest that the RTX 5070 Ti will come with 12 GB of memory, whereas the RTX 5080 and RTX 5090 will sport 16 GB, with models below packing 8 GB.
Adding intrigue to this revelation is the mention of the GB102 GPU PCI ID. Currently, it appears that just one SKU, the GeForce RTX 5090, will feature this chip. While it might also earmark a workstation variant, its large size, power, and thermal demands seem to preclude its use in mobile SKUs.
On the horizon at CES 2025, NVIDIA’s CEO Jensen Huang is expected to headline what promises to be a gamer-centric keynote. Amidst the company’s intense focus on AI, this event looks set to pivot back to NVIDIA’s traditional gaming roots, possibly showcasing how AI innovations will enhance gaming experiences without overshadowing the gaming hardware news.
The mobile GPUs under the preliminary GeForce RTX 50 “Blackwell” umbrella feature:
– RTX 5090 with 16 GB GDDR7
– RTX 5080 with 16 GB GDDR7
– RTX 5070 Ti with 12 GB GDDR7
– RTX 5070 with 8 GB GDDR7
– RTX 5060 with 8 GB GDDR7
– RTX 5050 with 8 GB GDDR7
These cutting-edge GPUs are the talk of the tech town, holding much promise for gamers and tech enthusiasts alike in the coming year.
