RTX 5050 laptops appear in ASUS, MSI and Lenovo listings

Despite the fact that GeForce RTX 5050 is not officially presented yet, several laptop models with this video card are already appeared in open price lists. ASUS, Lenovo, MSI and a number of retail platforms, including Newegg and Germany's Kiebel, have published pages for new gaming models mentioning the RTX 5050, although There has been no release from NVIDIA yet.

Leaks indicate that the RTX 5050 may include 2560 CUDA cores, 80 Tensor units and 20 RT cores, but this data is from unofficial sources. The biggest confusion is related to the type of video memory: in the listing MSI Helix 13 specified GDDR6, and on the page Lenovo Legion 5i on Newegg listed as GDDR7. This could indicate either different versions of the card or erroneous specifications in the retailer's database. In any case, There is no confirmed RTX 5050 configuration yet.

Model ASUS Strix G16 with RTX 5050 was spotted on a Vietnamese ASUS site with a Core i7-14650HX processor and 32GB of RAM, but no mention of the memory type GPU. The page is of a technical nature and, judging by the lack of a price, is intended for preliminary placement. The appearance of such listings indicates the imminent announcement of the RTX 5050, but actual shipments of the devices and exact specifications remain in question. NVIDIA has not released any information about this model.
