GeForce RTX 3050 Ti and 3050, here’s how many CUDA cores the mobile versions will have

After the error of Asus in the past few weeks, which confirmed the existence of the GeForce RTX 3050 Ti mobile, more details emerge about the new GPU and its younger sister GeForce RTX 3050. All’interno del database del benchmark Geekbench (who e who) references to the two proposals have appeared that reveal how the first one has 20 SM, while the second stops at 16.

Since a SM in Ampere architecture matters 128 CUDA core, the accounts are soon made and lead us to 2560 cores for the Ti model and 2048 for the “smooth” variant. Both proposals, but this is currently a hypothesis, should be based on a called GPU GA107 and will likely count the same number of drives that we will also see on future desktop models of the same name.

The two GPUs were tested on Samsung notebooks equipped with two different Tiger Lake H45W CPUs, the Core i7-11800H (8C / 16T) and the upcoming Core i5-11400H (6C / 12T). As for the rest of the specifications, the new models should be accompanied by 4GB of GDDR6 memory on 128-bit bus, for a bandwidth of 192 GB / s. The tests indicate frequencies around the gigahertz for both models, but there is no certainty that these are the final ones, moreover they are not to be considered indicative of what we will see in the desktop environment (the thermal and consumption constraints of laptops impose clock more bass).

The arrival of these models will mark the arrival of Nvidia’s RTX range in an unprecedented market and price range, expanding hardware support for ray tracing: with the RTX 2000 family Nvidia, in fact, did not go under the GeForce RTX 2060, instead creating the GTX 1600 series without RT core and Tensor core units to cover the gaming needs of fans with lower budgets.
