Computer maker Acer is making progress in the design and production of a gaming laptop that combines AMD’s incoming Ryzen 7 5800H processor with the Nvidia RTX 3080 GPU. This information was provided by German retailer ElectronicPartner, as they have listed the company’s next-generation Nitro 5 ahead of its potential release at CES 2021. The listing has been removed from the retailer’s website, though.

The gaming laptop is among the first devices to pair AMD’s Zen 3 and Nvidia’s Ampere architectures. It is reported to have an octa-core Ryzen 7 5800H processor, capable of enhancing the base and boost clocks to 3.2GHz and 4.4GHz, respectively alongside the Nvidia RTX 3080 graphics card with 8GB of memory and likely GDDR6.

There is a high possibility that this could be the mobile version of the Ampere GPU, which will likely feature cut-down specifications. The Acer Nitro 5 gaming laptop has a 17.3-inch FHD screen, refresh rate of 144 Hz, 32GB of DDR4 memory, and a massive 1TB SSD.

The gaming laptop features a full-size keyboard equipped with backlighting, a battery capable of working up to eight hours, together with Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.0 capabilities. The laptop also has one HDMI port, three USB 3.0 ports, a single USB 3.1 port, and a 3.5mm audio jack.

The listing by ElectronicPartner enforces the view that Acer may also be releasing a trimmed-down variant of the Nitro 5 that could have either an Nvidia GTX 1650 with 4GB of GDDR6 memory or an AMD Radeon GPU.

According to the German retailer, the Acer Nitro 5 will carry a hefty retail price of €1,948.61 (about $2,372). The laptop is also expected to adopt a cheaper price when it is announced for the US market.
