Nvidia’s upcoming RTX 5000 series laptop GPUs have been discovered in the PCI ID repository, hinting at an imminent release. The list includes models ranging from RTX 5050 to 5090 Max-Q, but there seems to be confusion surrounding the chips being used. Particularly, the presence of AD108M in graphics cards below the RTX 5080 level is raising eyebrows and suggesting a potential mistake.
Despite speculations, it is believed that this mention of ‘AD108M’ as the chip in lower-tier laptop GPUs may be an error as it contradicts the expected pecking order within the Lovelace range. This discovery has led to skepticism, but it also further supports rumors of Nvidia unveiling next-gen laptop GPUs soon, possibly at CES 2025. Nvidia’s keynote on January 6 is eagerly anticipated, with expectations running high for new desktop Blackwell GPUs.
