The GeForce RTX 50 Series, a new generation of GPUs from NVIDIA based on the company’s latest Blackwell architecture, will include several laptop models that are said to feature greatly reduced power consumption, including a GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop GPU that matches the GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU in performance, according to new information shared by Wu Haijun, chairman of Chinese laptop and PC manufacturer Shenzhen Hasee Innovation. Power consumption of the new lineup, which features GDDR7 rather than GDDR6 memory, has been reduced from 140 watts to 115 watts, the executive said.
Haijun said at the event:
- “It is estimated that the next generation of products will have a relatively large improvement, because it uses the symmetry of DDR7, and the performance has been greatly improved.”
- “Because NVIDIA next-generation products have greatly reduced the power consumption of the GPU, for example, the highest one is 175, and the next-generation products, one only needs a maximum of 140 watts, and then it is 115, the maximum is 115, the best is 25 watts, which is the reverse power consumption, so what?”
- “Right now with 40 series, you need 150-140, and then add full in the product and reduce 122 watts or so 20 watts, so, so, such a future happy product plus product, then the power consumption of the entire system will be reduced by 40 to 50 watts of many products, its performance is only 150 watts, now it can far exceed the current product performance.”

NVIDIA on some of the tech behind its latest laptop GPUs:
Ada High Efficiency On-Chip Memory sees the GPU’s memory get a redesign that vastly improves power efficiency, with double the bandwidth, over 10x the capacity, and improved clock gating. Tri-Speed Memory Control enables the GPU to switch to new, lower power memory states dynamically, improving power efficiency when the system is idle or using low intensity apps. And Ultra Low Voltage GDDR6 boosts GPU efficiency via the integration of the lowest voltage graphics memory ever.
