The Nvidia RTX 5000-series has been the topic of many rumors during the last 12 months, with loads of leaks teasing efficiency and specs. Due to a brand new rumor, we could have some attention-grabbing data in regards to the RTX 5060’s energy consumption as nicely.
A brand new assertion from Chairman Wu Haijun of Shenzen Hasee Laptop Co. (which producers desktops, mini-PCs, and laptops), reported on by VideoCardz, reveals that the RTX 5060 laptop computer GPU could require much less energy than its predecessor, the Nvidia RTX 4060. The assertion asserts that the 5060 will solely want 115W of energy in comparison with the 4000-series’ 140W. The Chairman additionally acknowledged that the 5060 will use GDDR7 reminiscence, which isn’t notably stunning contemplating prior leaks kind of trace at that spec.
This new data contradicts a earlier rumor that the 5000-series, particularly the 5060, would use much more energy than the sooner era of playing cards. That leak acknowledged that the 5060 would have a 55W improve to 170W over its 4000-series counterpart, which might have been an enormous climb if true. Hopefully, this present report is extra correct, as it will be unbelievable information for players.
Decrease energy consumption, however at what price?
Whereas the 115W energy consumption is certainly good news, there are some caveats. Plainly the subsequent era of GN22-X11 and X9 SKUs are anticipated to run at 175W Complete Graphics Energy (TGP). For reference, the present era is codenamed GN21. Nonetheless, the X7, X6, X4, and X2 shall be restricted to 115W of energy. Apparently, the X7 is a brand new mannequin with out an older-generation counterpart, so this might imply that there shall be much more card choices coming.
There additionally appears to be a draw back to this decrease energy consumption, I collect from different rumors leaked earlier than. The RTX 5090 graphics card would possibly supply 16GB of VRAM, whereas the RTX 5060 will solely have 8GB of VRAM. Additional, the 5060 will most definitely stay restricted to a 128-bit width reminiscence bus, in step with the decrease VRAM. It’ll have 8GB of GDDR7 reminiscence if these reviews are true.
So, the 5060 could use far much less energy, nevertheless it comes with a measured lack of enchancment in comparison with the 4060.

Nvidia is predicted to make use of the GB203, GB205, GB206, and GB207 GPUs for its cellular RTX 50 sequence. There’s additionally the GB202 in improvement with a reminiscence bus of 512 bit, which sounds nice, except you’re a laptop computer gamer, as a result of it’s unlikely it’ll be used for something apart from a desktop.
