NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 “Laptop” GPU To Consume Lower Power Than Ada, Features GDDR7 & RTX 4070-Level Performance

NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5060 "Blackwell" laptop GPU could end up being a major upgrade over RTX 4060 according to Chinese manufacturer, Hasee.

The new details come from Golden Pig Upgrade who attended a recent event hosted by Chinese laptop and PC manufacturer, Shenzhen Hasee Compute Co. or Hasee for short. During the event, the chairman of the company, Wu Haijun, talked about what to expect from next-generation PCs, and during the talk, he revealed some interesting bits about NVIDIA's next-gen RTX 50 "Blackwell" lineup for laptops.

It is mentioned that NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 50 "Blackwell" lineup will be the first on the market to feature support for GDDR7 memory when it launches next year. This is nothing new as it's been confirmed since June through a CLEV leak that NVIDIA will have its entire Blackwell lineup shifted to the new GDDR7 memory standard which will mark a major boost to bandwidth and most likely the VRAM capacities too.

Since Hasee mostly produces mainstream gaming notebooks, the company's CEO focused the talk on one particular SKU within the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 "Blackwell" GPU lineup and that is the RTX 5060 laptop chip. According to Wu, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 "Blackwell" GPU for laptops will offer lower power consumption than the current "Ada" SKU. The RTX 4060 for laptop is rated at a max TGP limit of 140W and that is being reduced to 115W with the RTX 5060.

At the same time, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 "Blackwell" Laptop GPU is said to deliver very good performance for thin and light gaming platforms. The chip is said to offer performance similar to an RTX 4070 Laptop GPU, exceeding it in ray tracing scenarios and coming close to or even matching the higher-end chip in rasterization performance. The RTX 50 series will also come with upgraded technologies such as next-gen DLSS and more to further boost performance over the "Ada" series.

It is estimated that the next generation of products will have a relatively large improvement, because it uses the symmetry of DDR7, and the performance has been greatly improved.

Because NVIDIA next-generation products have greatly reduced the power consumption of the GPU, for example, the highest one is 175, and the next-generation products, one only needs a maximum of 140 watts, and then it is 115, the maximum is 115, the best is 25 watts, which is the reverse power consumption, so what?

Right now with 40 series, you need 150-140, and then add full in the product and reduce 122 watts or so 20 watts, so, so, such a future happy product plus product, then the power consumption of the entire system will be reduced by 40 to 50 watts of many products, its performance is only 150 watts, now it can far exceed the current product performance.

As per previous information, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 "GN22-X4" is likely to utilize the GB206 GPU die with 8 GB of GDDR7 memory. The memory is likely to be configured at 28 Gbps speeds in the first iteration.

There's no doubt that the "60" series NVIDIA lineup is very popular amongst gamers. The RTX 3060, RTX 4060, RTX 2060, and GTX 1060 are the top-used video cards at Steam's Hardware Survey.

The RTX 4060 Laptop GPU itself takes up 7th place and is widely available in a range of mainstream and budget-tier gaming laptops. The GPU also faces no competition as AMD and Intel have yet to offer a mainstream laptop GPU that's available on the same level as the RTX 4060 or even the older RTX 3060. If this report is correct, then NVIDIA might once again have a strong mainstream solution for the mass gaming segment of the laptop market.

NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 50 "Blackwell" GPUs are expected to be introduced at CES 2025 and we can expect a laptop launch within the first half of 2025 which will make for a nice upgrade over the RTX 40 series.
