NVIDIA Officially Announces Its Ampere-based GeForce RTX 3080, RTX 3070 and RTX 3060 Mobile Graphics Chips

NVIDIA has officially unveiled the GeForce RTX 30 mobile GPUs. These discrete graphics chips, meant for mobile computing solutions, are based on the Ampere Architecture. The company introduced three graphics cards designed for different price segments and desired gameplay experience.
After appearing in leaks and reports for quite some time, NVIDIA has officially confirmed the existence of its GeForce RTX 30 mobile GPUs. These discrete GPUs are meant for productivity and gaming laptops. Interestingly, NVIDIA has ensured configurable TGP profiles for these GPUs, which means OEMs can tweak them according to the thermal cooling solutions.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080, RTX 3070, and RTX 3060 Mobile Graphics Cards:
The flagship NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 graphics cards will be based on the GA104 GPU with all 6144 CUDA cores. The dGPU will arrive with up to 16GB of GDDR6 memory. With such processing power, this GPU will be used by high-end gaming laptops offering 100+ FPS in 1440p gaming at Ultra quality.

The first-ever laptop processors to benefit from these new GPUs would be the 11th-Gen Intel Tiger Lake-H35 CPUs. Incidentally, a few variants of these CPUs will also have the Intel Iris Max DG1 GPUs. However, given the specifications and power of Intel’s in-house GPUs, it is quite likely that buyers will prefer laptops with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 mobile GPUs.
