NVIDIA Readies Fresh Laptop Graphics Chip With Better Memory.

Computer makers plan to ship laptops with NVIDIA's new RTX 5080 graphics chip this spring. The chip marks a step forward in speed and helps run artificial intelligence programs better than past models.

The RTX 5080 brings fresh changes to its memory handling. It uses new GDDR7 memory parts with a wider 256-bit path, which beats the older GDDR6 memory that ran on a smaller 192-bit path. These updates mean the chip can move pictures faster on screen, which matters for people who need quick screen updates or work with videos.

Tests show the speed increase helps stop delays when the chip works hard. Computer experts used a test named 3D Mark Time Spy DirectX 12. The results proved the new memory system keeps data moving fast, even during hard tasks.

The heart of the RTX 5080 includes 7680 small parts called CUDA cores. This number stands a bit higher than older chips. But the real gains come from better design that makes each part work smarter. Test scores tell the story clearly. The RTX 5080 earned 21,900 points in standard tests. The past model, RTX 4080, scored 18,200 points. This means the new chip runs 19% faster. It even beats some more costly chips by 5%.

NVIDIA aims to make enough of these chips for all buyers. This depends on the parts being ready from other makers. The company built these improvements on what it learned from improving its Blackwell design. These updates show that NVIDIA keeps pushing ahead to make laptop graphics faster and smarter.
