RTX 5080 and RTX 5070 laptop VRAM capacity and bus width leak with significant gains over predecessors

[Redaktion]

High-end RTX 50 laptop GPUs like the RTX 5080 and the RTX 5070/RTX 5070 Ti are finally getting a VRAM increase according to the latest leak from Moore's Law Is Dead. With the memory and bus-width bump in place, the RTX 5080 will match the RTX 5090.

Bad that there is no 4060 hike.
Also there is no justification that laptop memory is not at the same level as desktops.

People have been saying it for several months now already, but it just signifies that Nvidia has completely left the consumer gpu market and gone full enterprise AI market.

Buy AMD, buy Qualcomm, buy Intel, or anything else — just don't go Nvidia.

8GB for a RTX **60 series tier card in 2025 is a joke.

So it consumes much more, and TDP is already monstrous in laptops. Previously, 10-15 ago, the entire "gaming" laptop consumed less than one 4060... this is not normal.
It will be normal when all laptops are legally limited to a total consumption of 80W, then it will be seriously quieter in the same dimensions and weight, and at the same time these scammers from the great three will have to somehow convince buyers to buy a new series with a limit of 40-50W.. = ). Much like how incandescent light bulbs were forcibly removed from the market.

Surely the author realises the 4080 laptop gpu is not related to the 4080 desktop gpu at all and is just the mobile version of the desktop 4070. Nvidia's naming policy is egregious at best and fraudulent at worst.
