GA107 GPU to go with Intel's 11th gen Core Tiger Lake-H CPUs

Nvidia has officially announced a couple of new mobile Geforce RTX series graphics cards, the Geforce RTX 3050 Ti Mobile and the Geforce RTX 3050 Mobile. These two should go well with Intel's newest Tiger Lake-H mobile CPUs and some of the laptop makers have already started to pair them up.

Both the Geforce RTX 3050 Ti Mobile and the RTX 3050 Mobile are based on Nvidia's GA107 GPU and should fit well in Nvidia's mobile GPU lineup. Some laptop makers, like Lenovo, have already announced laptops based on these chips, but more powerful ones will go for RTX 3060 and other GPUs.

The Geforce RTX 3050 Ti Mobile apparently maxes out the GA107 GPU, packing 20 SMs for a total of 2560 CUDA cores, 80 Tensor cores, and 20 RT cores. It comes with 4GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit memory interface. The precise GPU clocks are not unveiled, especially since the TDP is set at between 35W and 80W, so there is a lot of wiggle room, but it does boost up to 1695MHz.

The Geforce RTX 3050 Mobile features a cut-down GA107 GPU with 16 SMs, or 2048 CUDA cores, 64 Tensor cores, and 16 RT cores. It also comes with 4GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit memory interface. The RTX 3050 Mobile boosts up to 1740MHz.

Both new RTX 30-series Mobile cards feature support for PCI-Express 4.0 and Resizable BAR, so these should go well with Intel's newest platform, as well as AMD's mobile chips.

Plenty of design wins and decent performance

According to Nvidia, there are already over 140 design wins, including some popular names like Razer Blade 15, Alienware M15 R5, Dell XPS 17, HP ZBook Studio, Lenovo Ideapad 5i Pro, MSI GS76, Asus Zephyrus M16, and others.

Nvidia did provide some performance numbers, showing that both the RTX 3050 Ti Mobile can keep well above 60 FPS in some titles with DLSS, even with RT enabled.
