Leaked information suggests that Nvidia‘s upcoming graphics cards, particularly the mobile RTX 5080, might experience delays in their release. Sources speaking to YouTuber Moore’s Law is Dead suggest that there could be a postponement for the Blackwell laptop lineup compared to their desktop counterparts. 

These laptops are reportedly lagging in development by about 1-2 months which could lead them to miss their expected debut at CES 2025. Even the desktop RTX 5080 might see a delayed launch, scheduled to come out after the RTX 5090.

Nvidia RTX 5080 GPU

There’s not much we know about the RTX 50 series GPUs yet but leaks so far suggest that the high-end Blackwell SKUs will have support for GDDR7 memory.

The mobile variants are also expected to have GDDR7 support along with PCIe Gen 5 support. There’s speculation that the RTX 5090 mobile GPU might use the GB203 GPU from the RTX 4090, with the RTX 5080 possibly following suit with some modifications. 

The GB203 chip is speculated to be half the size of the flagship GB202 chip, potentially featuring 96 Streaming Multiprocessors (SMs) and a 256-bit bus width. Whether this translates to increased VRAM alongside GDDR7 memory remains unclear.

Ada Lovelace was known for its power efficiency. If Blackwell maintains similar characteristics, Nvidia could still hold an advantage, especially considering their main competitor is rumored to skip an entire generation.

It’s important to remember that this information is based on leaks and speculation. Details regarding the Nvidia RTX 5080 mobile will likely continue to emerge over time. We will keep you updated on it.
