NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 40 ‘Ada’ laptop GPUs are launching at CES 2023 and we’ve got more specs to share with you in our exclusive.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 ‘Ada’ Laptop GPU with up to 200W TGP and over 2GHz Boost Clocks: Flagship RTX 4090 16GB with AD103 GPU
Just like it was front leak, NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 40 “Ada” laptop GPUs will include a total of five variants. These laptop chips will deliver some of the best performance and value in every segment and are intended for gamers and enthusiasts only. Each segment will feature a big improvement in performance and efficiency.
At the top of the lineup is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 16GB laptop GPU, which is the flagship. One thing to keep in mind is that although these GPUs share the same naming scheme as desktop cards, they don’t have the same specs and are massively scaled down, which is something we’ve seen in previous generations as well. . It’s simply because you can’t cram a 400W+ GPU into a laptop that needs to be portable and has limited power options.
As such, the flagship GeForce RTX 4090 will feature the NVIDIA AD103 GPU core and come with TGP options in the 150W range and up to 175W. The 150W TGP target will be configured with a base clock range of 1590 MHz and a boost clock range of 2040 MHz. Additionally, there is an additional 25W Dynamic Boost which can push the TGPs up to 200W allowing for increased clocks.
Then we have the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 16GB option which will come with a similar TGP lineup but will adopt the AD104 GPU core. The GPU will get a TGP range of 150W and up to 175W with a base clock of 1.86GHz and a Boost clock of 2.28GHz for the 150W target. The RTX 4080 will also get a range Additional 25W Dynamic Boost.
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 and RTX 4060 will feature 8GB of GDDR6 memory. Both GPUs will get a 115W standard profile and up to 140W TGP along with the 25W Dynamic Boost range. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 will ship with a 2070 MHz base clock and a 2175 MHz Boost clock on its 115W profile. The GeForce RTX 4060 can go down even further to 85W (Plus 10W Dynamic Boost).
Finally, we have the entry-level GeForce RTX 4050 6GB which will also get a 115W-140W TGP option (25W Dynamic Boost profile as well). The GPU will benefit from a boost clock of up to 2370 MHz in its 115 W TGP range. For more power-efficient designs, the RTX 4050 can go down to 85 W (plus 10 W Dynamic Boost).

According to the previous report, NVIDIA’s Ada GeForce RTX 40 series laptop GPUs will deliver up to 30% performance improvement over their predecessors while adding the latest features such as DLSS3 and tracing performance of improved spokes. According to the product roadmap, we see a lot of SKUs, announced in January, that are bundled with Intel’s next series of Raptor Lake-H processors. This means that Intel will also announce its Raptor Lake-H mobility processor series at CES and at NVIDIA RTX 40 / Raptor Lake-H Combo Laptops It will be among the first to be marketed by the end of January/beginning of February.
