NVIDIA's new GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop GPU has appeared in new 3DMark TimeSpy benchmark results, tested against the current-gen RTX 4080 Laptop GPU.

The new GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop GPU is 16.2% faster in TimeSpy versus the RTX 4080 Laptop GPU in new results shared by Top Player on Bilibili, with 21,948 points in TimeSpy's Graphics test. Compared to my own recent personal testing of the RTX 4060 Laptop GPU which scored 9316 points in the same test, and the RTX 4070 Laptop GPU which scored 12,131 points, the RTX 5080 Laptop GPU is shaping up very well indeed.

However, it falls radically short of the purported performance pushed by leakers like Moore's Law is Dead, who reported that we should expect 45-65% more performance out of the RTX 5080 Laptop GPU compared to the RTX 4080 Laptop GPU.

HP's new EliteBook X G1a laptop will feature AMD's new Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 "Strix Point" APU and a bonkers 128GB of LPDDR5X-8533 memory.

This is the first laptop featuring 128GB of LPDDR5X-8533 memory, as spotted by X user @AnhPhuH with HP offering multiple different configurations of its new EliteBook X G1a laptop. The highest-end configuration finds the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 "Strix Point" APU with 12 cores and 24 threads at up to 5.1GHz, but there's the option for the Ryzen AI 7 Pro 360 "Strix POint" APU, too.

On the GPU side of things, we've got the RDNA 3.5-based integrated Radeon 890M GPU that is found inside of the Strix Point APU, but the laptop comes with a huge 128GB of RAM no matter which APU you opt for. AnhPhuH notes on X that all three of the major DRAM manufacturers only have 128Gb x32 modules, and not 256Gb x32, and that the 128GB memory option is only available because of the 256Gb x32 modules.

AMD's new flagship Ryzen 9 9955HX3D laptop processor has found its way into early pre-orders in Europe, packing NVIDIA's new flagship GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop GPU with 24GB of GDDR7 memory.

Polish-based laptop retailer Dream Machines has multiple new AMD Ryzen 9000 HX series "Fire Range" processors ready inside of next-gen gaming laptops, but with no ETA on the new Fire Range CPUs, we could be waiting a few weeks... or even a few months. NVIDIA's new GeForce RTX 50 Laptop GPUs are expected to ship in March, so we still have a few weeks to wait at the earliest.

AMD has a few different Fire Range CPUs up its sleeve, with the flagship Ryzen 9 9955HX3D with 16 cores, 32 threads at up to 5.4GHz, and a delicious 128MB of L3 cache. The Ryzen 9 9955HX (without X3D cache) has the same 16C/32T @ 5.4GHz but because it doesn't have X3D cache the 9955HX has only 64MB of L3 cache., while the Ryzen 9 9855HX features 12 cores and 24 threads at up to 5.2GHz with 64MB of cache.

The new Razer Blade 16 for 2025 is an impressive gaming laptop. It's the thinnest Razer gaming laptop ever designed and comes equipped with a QHD+ 240Hz OLED display and up to GeForce RTX 5090 laptop graphics - with 24GB of GDDR7 memory. It's also the first Blade 16 from Razer to feature an AMD processor with up to the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 with 12 cores, 24 threads, and 50 TOPS of AI performance.

This is in addition to the impressive up to 1824 AI TOPS (FP4) performance of the GeForce RTX 5090 laptop GPU, which also features NVIDIA's latest MaxQ advancements for efficiency and battery life. You might think that the Razer Blade 16 would be a pretty awesome little unit for running Cyberpunk 2077 with Full Ray Tracing and DLSS 4 Multi Frame Generation - and it certainly is.

That is if you can find one. According to Razer's co-founder and CEO Min-Liang Tan over on X, the availability of Razer Blade laptops in 2025 with GeForce RTX 5090 GPUs will be "very limited" due to the demand from the AI sector.

LG is cooking up a new gram Pro 16 laptop that features NVIDIA's unannounced GeForce RTX 5050 Laptop GPU, which uses 8GB of now older GDDR6 memory.

LG shared some new marketing materials for its new gram Pro 16 AI laptop, confirming that it will indeed feature the GeForce RTX 5050 Laptop GPU, as the RTX 5050 should be an easy upgrade for laptop makers already using the RTX 4050 Laptop GPU with pin-to-pin compatibility.

The board with the CPU and GPU -- Intel's new Core Ultra 200 series CPUs are supported -- has just been released, but the GPU will be swapped out from the RTX 4050 Laptop GPU to the RTX 5050 Laptop GPU in the coming weeks, maybe months. This explains why the marketing material says "RTX 5050" but also says "Ada Lovelace". Confusing, but not really.
