Something to expect: All signs point to Nvidia getting ready to launch the RTX 30 series mobile GPUs early next year, which could bring a significant performance boost to the next gaming laptops. A GeForce event is confirmed to take place at CES on January 12, where Nvidia could unveil new desktop GPU variants, as well as its mobile counterparts, to launch 2021.
The RTX 3060 Ti, RTX 3070, RTX 3080 and RTX 3090 graphics cards are likely to remain difficult to find in the coming weeks due to a combination of scalpers, restricted supply and high demand, but at least we know how well they work (they are very fast) ), as well as its comparison with AMD’s Radeon 6000 series GPUs.
Not much has been made official about the mobile counterparts in the RTX 30 series, but Nvidia is confirmed to host a GeForce event on January 12, where it will be able to reveal the elusive RTX 3060 and RTX 3080 Ti for desktop. The company will likely use the opportunity to announce RTX 30 series mobile GPUs.
Thanks, SKIKK, European notebook manufacturer based in the Netherlands, we know that a launch is approaching and that we can expect them to bring improvements over the previous generation, as well as desktop parts.
According listings which were quickly removed from the manufacturer’s website, the mobile Ampere will arrive first on 15- and 17-inch laptops. Based on what we know so far, the RTX 3080 and RTX 3070 will come in the Max-P or Max-Q configurations, while the RTX 3060 will only come in the standard configuration.
Notably, the RTX 3060 will come with only 6 GB of GDDR6 with a 192-bit memory bus, while the RTX 3080 will come with 8 or 16 GB on a 256-bit memory bus. The RTX 3070 will be the middle ground with 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 256-bit memory bus.
Notebookcheck writes that the RTX 3080 mobile GPU will be based on the same GA104 GPU core as the RTX 3070 desktop GPU, although with 6,144 CUDA cores clocked at up to 1.7 GHz depending on the model.
The mobile RTX 3070 and RTX 3060 are supposed to have 5120 and 3072 CUDA cores, respectively. The expected TGP is 115-150 watts for the Max-P variants and 80-90 watts for the Max-Q variants.
