The next generation GeForce RTX 5060 ‘Blackwell’ laptop GPU will be a big step up over the RTX 4060 as per some details from Chinese OEM Hasee. According to more information from the Golden Pig Upgrade event of Shenzhen Hasee Compute Co., there appear to be some great improvements planned for NVIDIA’s next-generation GPU lineup.
The Upcoming NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 ‘Blackwell’ Laptop GPU
Wu Haijun, Hasee’s chairman, discussed expectations for future PCs, including the RTX 50 “Blackwell” series. Apparently, rumors about the series just got real where according to a CLEV remains leak from June was confirmed that this will be for the first GeForce RTX 50 lineup with GDDR7 memory. This new memory standard is expected to enhance bandwidth and VRAM capacities significantly.
The event was focused on mainstream gaming notebooks with the RTX 5060 laptop GPU being presented by Hasee. As it stands, Wu suggested that the RTX 5060 would consume even less power than the current crop of RTX 4060s cutting TGP down from a reported maximum of around 140W to nearer to just over half that at around 115W, but should deliver thin and light gaming laptops with strong performance.
Ray tracing performance is likely to be competitive with the RTX 4070 Laptop GPU, too, and match or exceed it without ray tracing on. The move to the RTX 50 series will also see upgraded features, such as next-gen DLSS that should allow even more improvements in performance versus the “Ada” series.
The RTX 5060 “GN22-X4” should feature the GB206 GPU die and pack 8GB of GDDR7 memory, which should run at speeds of up to 28 Gbps on its first implementation. The RTX 60 series is highly popular among gamers, with previous models like the RTX 3060 and RTX 4060 being top choices in Steam’s Hardware Survey. NVIDIA‘s GeForce RTX 50 “Blackwell” GPUs are anticipated to be introduced at CES 2025, with laptop models expected to launch in the first half of 2025, promising a substantial upgrade over the RTX 40 series.
