'Laptop versions of Nvidia RTX 50 GPUs will have 8, 12 or 16GB of GDDR7 memory'

The memory configurations of Nvidia's mobile GeForce RTX 50 series have reportedly surfaced online. A leaked roadmap mentions six variants of the laptop GPUs, with 8, 12 and 16GB of GDDR7 memory.

The roadmap is according to security researcher Dominic Alvieri from a hack at Clevo, a Taiwanese OEM that produces laptops, discovered Videocardz. It describes six mobile versions of GeForce RTX 50 GPUs, which should be released in 2025, according to the document. Three of them, called GN22-X6, GN22-X4 and GN22-X2, would have 8GB of GDDR7 VRAM. The card codenamed GN22-X7 will reportedly have 12GB of GDDR7 memory, while the GN22-X11 and GN22-X9 will be equipped with 16GB of VRAM according to the roadmap.

The 16GB models may include the mobile RTX 5090 and 5080. The mobile RTX 4080 had 12GB of GDDR6 vRAM. However, it is also possible that the GN22-X7 GPU refers to the 5080. Furthermore, it is remarkable that no GPU is mentioned with 6GB of memory, while the mobile RTX 4050 was still equipped with that number of gigabytes of VRAM.

Finally, the leaked roadmap shows that the mobile 6GB variants of the GeForce RTX 4050 and GeForce RTX 3050 will remain in production in 2025. This would also apply to the RTX 2050 for some time, although it is said that that card will eventually be replaced by the 4GB version of the RTX 3050.
