NVIDIA has announced an online conference to be held 12 January. It will be an event as part of the CES virtual fair 2021, which, exceptionally, next year will not be held in the current formula. A similar event took place two years ago (then we had the opportunity to attend a live conference from Las Vegas). Then a new generation of graphics cards for laptops were presented – GeForce RTX 2000 and the desktop GeForce RTX 2060. In the official press release, NVIDIA announces news in the gaming and graphics segment. Certainly, during the conference, we will get to know specific details about the new generation GPU in mobile versions. This time we are waiting for the laptop version of the Ampere architecture in the form of GeForce RTX systems 3000. The upcoming generation of notebooks will be unique in some ways, unlike any before.

NVIDIA has announced an online conference to be held 12 January. During it, among others, GeForce RTX graphics cards 3000 for laptops. Probably we will also see RTX cards there 3060.

Already 12 January NVIDIA will present details of GeForce RTX mobile cards 3060, GeForce RTX 3070 and GeForce RTX 3080. Probably also on the same day another desktop card in the form of GeForce RTX 3060 will be shown. As we know, the manufacturer intends to show two different chips with the same name – one variant will be equipped with 6 GB VRAM and an Ampere GA core 106 with 3584 CUDA cores; the second one will have 12 GB of memory and a full GA core 106 with 3840 CUDA cores. For laptops, we only know about the presence of a version with 6 GB VRAM GDDR6. The second variant will probably never see the light of day on the mobile version, as will the RTX 3060 Ti.

For GeForce RTX 3070 here in the mobile version we count on the same Ampere GA chip 104 with 5888 CUDA cores and 8 GB of GDDR6 VRAM. Still the big secret is the mobile GeForce RTX 3080. Some sources report that it will be based on the full GA 104 with 6144 CUDA cores. Others, in turn, report the use of the GA core 103 with a mid-range configuration between RTX cards 3070 and RTX 3080 (desktop / GA 102). All we know is that the mobile GeForce RTX 3080 will come with 16 GB of GDDR6 VRAM. But why do I mention that it will be a unique generation in some respects? For the first time, top notebooks will not be based solely on Intel processors. Instead, the news will also use the upcoming AMD Cezanne-H chips in the form of Ryzen 5 5600 H, Ryzen 7 5800 H, Ryzen 9 5900 HS and Ryzen 9 5900 HX. For the first time, laptops with AMD and NVIDIA on board will feature the best quality and the best screens ( that have not been available in notebooks so far ). On this occasion, I will add one more information – later this month I will present a completely redesigned test procedure for the upcoming laptops with Intel Tiger Lake-H, AMD Cezanne-H and GeForce RTX 3000.
