Nvidia RTX 5050 to 5090 Laptop GPUs Spotted, Suggesting Next-Gen Graphics Cards Are Ready for Rumored CES 2025 Launch

Nvidia’s RTX 5000 Laptop GPUs Confirmed in PCI ID Repository, Suggesting Imminence RTX 5050 to 5090 Max-Q models are listed, but there are a few things related to the chips used. There is some confusion that AD108M exists in lower graphics cards than RTX 5080. That’s probably a mistake

Nvidia’s next-generation laptop GPUs are back in the spotlight, but this mention of a mobile Blackwell graphics card is certainly strange.

Wccftech reports that a series of Max-Q designs for the RTX 5000 series – more power-efficient GPUs for slim laptops as opposed to full-fat GPUs in chunky gaming laptops – confirmed by PCI ID The repository is reported to have been created (by HXL in X)

This is the official public list of ID numbers used by PCI devices and may appear here before a product is released. In fact, this is exactly what happened with many RTX 5000 models, from the RTX 5050 Max-Q to the flagship RTX 5090 Max-Q (some next-generation Blackwell models were also previously flagged). Masu).

This is a complete list of Blackwell mobile GPUs with the chips used in these graphics cards in parentheses at the end.

GeForce RTX 5090 Max-Q (GB203M)GeForce RTX 5080 Max-Q (GB203M)GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Max-Q (AD108M)GeForce RTX 5070 Max-Q (AD108M)GeForce RTX 5060 Max-Q (AD108M)GeForce RTX 5050 Max Q (AD108M)

Eagle-eyed readers will notice a strange element here. It’s referring to the “AD108M” as the chip for next-generation laptop graphics cards below the RTX 5080 level.

The AD is from the Lovelace series, but the AD108M is a hitherto unknown mobile part, so the suggestion here is that Nvidia will somehow (once Blackwell launches) use the older RTX 5050-5070 Ti Max-Q GPUs. This means that you will be using chips.

Analysis: I (definitely) made a mistake.

What exactly should I do about this? I’m tempted to think this must be just an error. Theoretically, it’s possible that Nvidia could draft what would be its last-gen chip when Blackwell laptop GPUs launch, but the model mentioned, the AD108M (M stands for mobile) (For those of you who don’t know) is at the bottom of the stack, below the AD107M, which is currently the lowest layer.

So, if this is accurate, it means the RTX 5070 Ti is set to use a chip lower in the Lovelace pecking order than the AD107M found in the RTX 4050 mobile GPU. And it makes no sense at all.

Probably this must be some kind of mistake. Wccftech points out that the AD108M was also listed under Nvidia’s next generation GPUs in Tech Powerup’s database, but those entries have now been removed. So again, this seems to support the theory that it’s simply an error that somehow crept in.

In fact, Tech Powerup listed both AD108M and GB206M (GB is a Blackwell chip) as two GPU options, but now only GB206M remains. This is supposed to be the chip that acts as the engine for the underlying Blackwell GPU. Probably GB205M as well, but it’s not specifically listed in these PCI IDs.

Overall, we treat this with considerable skepticism. The takeaway here is that this is yet another leak indicating that next-generation laptop GPUs from Nvidia are likely coming soon. The CES 2025 announcement is correct. Nvidia’s big keynote is on January 6th, and desktop Blackwell GPUs are definitely expected (and potentially very power-hungry).
