A screenshot shows the RTX 5060 mobile GPU in 3DMark, outperforming the RTX 4060 by 32%.

It would be helpful to know the configured TGP for the last and current gen results at least. I can confirm the posted result for the 4060 is likely the somewhat uncommon 115W (see edit below) version (My G15 scores around 11k in graphics with this version) but as for the rest, who knows! TGP is up to the laptop manufacturer and can be difficult for the consumer to determine at purchase. It can also drastically alter the overall performance and benchmark scores. If Tom's would provide and highlight the information when possible it would add some depth to this piece, as well as those sponsored posts.

(Edit: The 4060 in my machine is 140W, not 115W as I stated.)

So if the 5060 version has a TGP of 160 watts that would explain? https://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDI...e RTX 5060 is expected,W higher than RTX 4060).

Well, that and the extra CUDA cores. My hope is that Tom's would include these little details in future pieces, considering how easy it was for you to find. Granted, many of these leaked specs still have an element of uncertainty but it would make the article much more interesting. "If I have to scour the internet to find these things what am I coming here for?" would be my argument.

As for the TGP specifically, it's to the point that for Mobile variants, CUDA counts aren't the only metric. Two laptops with this new 5060 could have as much as a 100% performance delta between them depending on the configured TGP. So how do I, as a consumer know which one to buy? Benchmarks yes, but if the TGP is listed and one is say 80W, and the other is this 160W I know right away what to expect. I assume I'm not the only one who has searched a specific laptop model in vain while strolling around in a store avoiding sales people...

(FWIW the mobile 4060 has 4 common TGPs, 80W, 90W, 105W, 115W and the "special" 140W spec, I have amended my original comment to note the inaccuracy. Mine is the 140W version.)

This kind of score could indicate that it's faster than the top Strix Halo SKU, which is pretty brutal. AMD should have gotten Strix Halo out last year.

That's useful data.

I completely agree. the *naming schema* of the card is completely irrelevant.
What matters is
*the price* and the *tdp* vs previous gen cards.

It's not really a 5060, if, for example, it performs like a 4070, uses as much energy as a 4070, and costs as much as a 4070.

nvidia has been playing the shennanigans in recent generations. I'm hoping for a 5060 with a 30% performance increase at the same TDP and same price as the 4060.... but I'm not expecting it.

that's the TGP for the desktop 5060, not laptop 5060
