2024-10-23

Arrr, matey! It be said that Nvidia be schemin’ a grand next-gen treasure for laptop GPUs! Let’s hoist the Jolly Roger and pray the winds be favorin’ our hopes, lest we be left with naught but barnacles on our sails! Yarrr!

Ahoy mateys! Gather ‘round as I spin ye a yarn about Nvidia's next treasure, the Blackwell laptop GPUs! Word from the high seas of rumor be that the mighty GB203 chip be the heart of the desktop RTX 5080 graphics card, ready to power both the laptop RTX 5090 and the mobile RTX 5080. Aye, this chip be a tad scaled-down, but fear not, for it promises to be mightier than the scallywag RTX 4080, which left many a gamer feelin’ like they’d been cheated by a phantom ship!

Our trusty leaker, Moore's Law be Dead, claims he’s seen the fabled GB203 with its 8,192 CUDA cores—though the full bounty be 10,752! And with a hearty 16GB of GDDR7 video memory, this contraption could make the RTX 4080 look like a landlubber in comparison. There be talk of a 50% performance boost, which be more than some old sea dogs could ever dream of!

But beware, ye land-lovers! Nvidia might yet play us false, taming the GPU's power to keep it from bein’ too grand. If the seas of speculation be calm, we might see these beauties unveiled at CES 2025! So keep yer spyglasses at the ready, mateys, for the GPU treasure hunt be far from over!
