Nvidia announces RTX 5050 laptop GPU, desktop version set to launch on July 1

Something to look forward to: Nvidia has officially announced the RTX 5050 mobile GPU for entry-level gaming laptops. The company has also reportedly informed its AIC partners that the desktop version of the card will launch on July 1 , earlier than the end-of-month debut that was initially expected.

The RTX 5050 mobile is based on the GB207 GPU and features 2,560 CUDA cores – the same number of shaders as the desktop model. It comes with 8GB of GDDR7 VRAM, a 128-bit memory interface, and 384 GB/s of memory bandwidth. The GPU has a 115W TDP, matching that of the RTX 5060, and slightly higher than the 100W limit that had been rumored earlier.
