Wow. Looking forward to seeing these new laptops get benchmarked. Hope they get decent battery life.

Why are the laptop versions much more expensive than the cards for desktop PCs?

I assume that is the estimated cost for the entire laptop, not just the graphics chip.

Laptop GPU's are more expensive because they are better binned chips. As someone mentioned above, the prices in this article are for the whole laptop, not just the GPU.

The article says

>It's reasonable to assume this number represents the cost Nvidia's partners have to pay, so expect a higher price tag for retail RTX 50 laptops.

Theres no way on this planet that you'll find an RTX 5090 laptop for under $3k, we probably won't see one for under $4k.

They are more expensive because, compared to their desktop counterparts, they have to deal with a lot more efficiency requirements and still operate with worse thermals.

This picture from the presentation clearly indicates the price is for the laptop, not the GPU. The author of the article who posted what you quoted doesn't know what they are talking about. There's no Nvidia "OEM laptop design" that Nvidia sells to other companies.

Sad to see barely any increase to raw performance compared to the 40 series. The 5070 being essentially the same as a 4070. The AI Tops have a huge increase though. What could I use those for?

How much faster it will be will depend on how much better the cores are I guess. The 30 to 40 increase was not terrible despite a regression in core count. That's not the only thing that counts.

Thank you for correcting me 👍

can you show me an RTX 4090 laptop that retailed for under $3500 (even now), let alone $2800, like what you're implying?

Again, we are not going to see an RTX 5090 laptop for under $3500
