NVIDIA is apparently gearing up to launch its latest GeForce RTX 3080 graphics cards for gaming laptops. A new report suggests that these laptops will arrive sometime in January 2021 and will be paired with AMD Ryzen CPUs.
According to a WCCFTech report, the new mobile range of the NVIDIA RTX 30 series will arrive in laptops soon. This will include mobile versions of the RTX 3080. RTX 3070, and even the yet unannounced RTX 3060 GPUs. The RTX 3080 and RTX 3070 laptops will launch first in January, with partners like ASUS and MSI, as per the report. While the pricing of these laptops are currently unknown we can expect the RTX 3060 powered laptops to start from 999 US Dollars.

Similarly, a laptop with an RTX 3070 would likely start from around 1,299 US Dollars while the high end RTX 3080 gaming laptops could be around 1,999 US Dollars. Furthermore, these mobile GPUs would also arrive in their Max-Q and Max-P variants as well, with the former running on lower clocks for thin and light laptops and the latter offering performance near to a full sized desktop variant. Although, the report also states that the RTX 3080 will be the sole exception to this and will only arrive in a Max-Q variant, which is likely due to its high power draw requirements.
Unfortunately, this is still an unconfirmed report and NVIDIA has yet to announce any such plans at the moment. But with the launch of the first RTX 30 series card being a couple of months old, their mobile GPU counterparts should be just around the corner. Additionally, AMD Ryzen 4000 series chips on laptops had been held back by entry to mid range cards like RTX 2060. So, we can expect the Zen 2 chips to have more to offer with higher performing cards from this generation. But, we may also see the upcoming AMD Cezanne mobile CPUs, making their way to these laptops under the Ryzen 5000 series branding as well. So stay tuned for more updates.
