NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070, RTX 4060, RTX 4050 Mainstream Laptop GPUs Tested, Small Performance Gains But Higher Efficiency

wccftech.com:

NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 4070, RTX 4060, and RTX 4050 mainstream laptop GPUs tests have arrived a day earlier before their launch. While Ada brings some big performance improvements on desktop, it looks like the mainstream laptop chips are bottlenecked by their reliance on entry-level dies with limited core count and memory configurations.

Compared to the previous generation, each Ada mainstream GPU seems to be one SKU tier below its predecessor. The RTX 4070 has been downgraded to AD106 from the GA104 GPU on the 4070 Ti, the RTX 4060 has been downgraded to AD107 from the GA106 GPU on the RTX 3060 and while the RTX 4050 features the same die SKU, it comes with an even more cut-down AD107 die. What this is going to result in are fewer cores for each SKU and an even more cut-down memory design.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 and RTX 4060 will feature 8 GB GDDR6 memory. Both GPUs will get a standard 35W profile and up to 115W TGP along with the 25W Dynamic Boost Range. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 will come with 4608 Cores, 8 GB memory, up to 2175 MHz boost clocks, and a 128-bit bus while the RTX 4060 will feature 3072 Cores, 8 GB memory, up to 2370 MHz boost clocks, and a 128-bit bus.

Lastly, we have the entry-level GeForce RTX 4050 6 GB which will also get a 35W-115W TGP option (25W Dynamic Boost profile too). The GPU will get a boost clock of up to 2370 MHz at its 115W TGP range. The GPU can clock down to 1605 MHz and will feature a 96-bit bus interface.

According to the information available, the mainstream NVIDIA RTX 40 Laptop GPUs utilize a very conservative and cost-effective
