CES 2021: Nvidia announces RTX 30 Series for laptops

At its CES 2021 presentation on Monday, Nvidia announced RTX 30 series graphics processors for laptops, based on the Ampere architecture that has already found its way on desktop.

Nvidia announced three models for the RTX 30 laptop graphics processors to begin with: RTX 3080, RTX 3070 and RTX 3060. According to the company, laptops featuring these GPUs will be available later this month.

The RTX 30 series for laptops feature the same technical features as the desktop RTX cards, with the exception of needing to fit into the 150-watt TDP ceiling for laptops.

RTX 3060 laptops are “faster than anything on the market today,” said Jeff Fisher, senior vice president of NVIDIA’s GeForce business, during the presentation.
