Big lolz. Bless you for thinking so positively :'). RTX 4080 laptops from 3 years ago still cost 3000.

This is a company with massive contracts with Palantir and Oracle. That continue profit from the military industral complex on daily basis.

Give up on any hope of them caring about consumer affordability, when their stocks have all gone up from all the insider trading during this war.

Nvidia always offer more vram, they just make you pay a lot more for it (e.g. 90 class consumer series <-> RTX PRO series). So be careful what you wish for, with them..

12 GB VRAM is the new 8 GB VRAM: youtube.com/watch?v=ric7yb1VaoA ("Gaming Laptops are in Trouble - VRAM Testing w/ ‪@Hardwareunboxed‬") and here is a case, where even 12 GB VRAM are not enough: youtu.be/qPGDVh_cQb0?t=283 ("Worst 70 Series Ever, GeForce RTX 5070 Review"). AMD not going for a GDDR7 PHY and having the 3 GB density chips was a mistake (no memory dense workstation AI cards and now no memory dense laptop either). Now lightweight, non-bulky, 128-bit, gaming laptops with 12 GB VRAM exist and for now, they will all have a NGREEDIA GPU, while AMDone looks like a deer in headlights. Memory being so expensive and everyone wanting to cash-in on it is the big bummer, but those who have the means, will still get these 3 GB per GDDR7 chip memory density devices, especially companies.

Quotewarns that the new RTX 5070 could cost almost as much as the RTX 5070 Ti

Over time they should become cheaper and the higher price? Well, there are still many people who are ok with paying more for a thinner and lighter device with 12 GB VRAM (RTX 5070 Ti / 192-bit laptops are quite a bit bulkier, heavier, bigger/thicker, louder).

For everyone else, who doesn't understand what this news is about:
128-bit (5070 laptops)/32-bit per GDDR7 chip = 4 GDDR7 chips, each 2 GB = 8 GB VRAM (current).
192-bit (5070 Ti laptops)/32-bit per GDDR7 chip = 6 GDDR7 chips, each 2 GB = 12 GB VRAM (current).
128-bit (5070 laptops)/32-bit per GDDR7 chip = 4 GDDR7 chips, each 3 GB = 12 GB VRAM (new now -- this news).

Rather Nvidia always uses all excuses to further raise prices of all tiers...

This is a surprising release given supply constraints. Unless of course nVidia intends to use this to justify raising prices on products higher in the stack.

Nvidia has finally announced a new version of the GeForce RTX 5070. Equipped with 3 GB GDDR7 memory modules, the new laptop GPU bridges the gap between the existing RTX 5070 and RTX 5070 Ti. XMG warns that the RTX 5070 12 GB will cost almost as much as existing RTX 5070 Ti options.
