New NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 “Blackwell” Laptop GPUs Leaked: RTX 5090, 5080, 5070 Ti, 5060 & 5050 Max-Q Models

Recent findings in the PCI ID repository have unveiled NVIDIA’s upcoming GeForce RTX 50 “Blackwell”series laptop GPUs, including the RTX 5090, 5080, 5070, 5060, and 5050 models.

Discovering NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 50 “Blackwell”Laptop GPUs

A new report has surfaced, indicating that NVIDIA may be transitioning the Blackwell GPU dies to Ada architecture. Although this information is not yet verified, the PCI ID Repository now lists AD108M among various Max-Q GPUs in the RTX 50 series for mobile computing. This development has also been confirmed in Techpowerup’s database, which references both GB206M and AD108M for these Max-Q versions.

The AD108M die currently doesn’t appear in the Ada lineup, as the highest identification available in the RTX 40 series GPUs is the AD107. The Max-Q series typically powers slim, energy-efficient gaming laptops, differentiating them from standard NVIDIA GPUs designed for high-performance systems. While NVIDIA incorporated both GPU types in the Ada generation, the adaptation of Ada architecture to the RTX 50 series raises some eyebrows.

Contrary to NVIDIA’s typical practice of using faster GPUs for higher-end models, the AD108M is likely an entry-level option for the RTX 5070 and several other lower-tier GPUs. With this initial reveal, it remains unclear how the performance of the AD108M compares to both regular and Max-Q configurations. According to Techpowerup, NVIDIA could implement either GPU type across the RTX 50 series, although the PCI ID exclusively mentions the AD108M.

Rumored NVIDIA RTX 50 Max-Q GPUs

The table below outlines the suspected laptop GPUs in the RTX 50 Max-Q lineup that may utilize the AD108M die:

GeForce RTX 5090 Max-Q (GB203M)
GeForce RTX 5080 Max-Q (GB203M)
GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Max-Q (GB206M/AD108M)
GeForce RTX 5070 Max-Q (GB206M/AD108M)
GeForce RTX 5060 Max-Q (GB206M/AD108M)
GeForce RTX 5050 Max-Q (GB206M/AD108M)

In contrast, the more powerful RTX 5090 Max-Q and RTX 5080 Max-Q are set to feature the GB203M die, which is a trimmed version of the GB203 die that will be implemented in the laptop variants of the RTX 5090 and 5080 GPUs. Although it is premature to draw conclusions, the adoption of an older Ada architecture in the RTX 50 series may create some confusion, particularly if the performance exceeds that of previous models.

Notably, Techpowerup’s database indicates that the architecture associated with GB206M is labeled “Blackwell 2.0.”This designation also appears with other dies such as GB205M and GB202. Additionally, new dies within the Blackwell lineup have emerged, including the GB102 and GB102GL, which are simply referred to as “Blackwell.”

While we have clarity that the GB202 and GB203 dies will be utilized for the desktop RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 GPUs, the reason behind labeling these as “Blackwell 2″rather than just Blackwell remains enigmatic. Future developments will clarify how Blackwell 2.0 diverges from the original Blackwell architecture, including the attributes the AD108M will contribute.
