Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang will take the stage atCES2025 in five days. Many expect the chipmaker to unveil the RTX 50 (Blackwell) desktop family and potentially evenlaptop models. The RTX 5060 laptop GPU has reportedly been tested in 3DMark’s Time Spy benchmark (Credit:BilbiliviaHuang514613).
As with all leaks, we recommend examining the numbers cautiously since screenshots can be easily faked. Nonetheless, if the leaked results are accurate, the RTX 5060 laptop GPU could offer a 32% bump in performance over its predecessor, the RTX 4060 laptop GPU.
The scoop originates from user Superalloy Skittles at Bilibili, who is known for reviewing monitors and CPUs on the platform. In a video analyzing the performance of next-gen CPUs and GPUs, the user disclosed a screenshot that revealed the RTX 5060 mobile’s results in 3DMark TS (Time Spy). Notably, the attached screenshot did not offer any insight regarding specifications. However, it does show some performance numbers. We’ve compiled publicly available data fromBenchmarksby UL, so expect some deltas if your model is configured at a different TDP or uses a different cooling solution.
The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 laptop GPU amassed 13,821 points in 3DMark TS (Graphics), almost 32% faster than the RTX 4060 laptop GPU this generation. This performance improvement is comparable to the 25-30% leap seen from the RTX 3060 to the RTX 4060 on laptops.
The RTX 5060 laptop GPU is faster than the RTX 4070 and almost 70% ahead of the two-generation-old RTX 3060 mobile GPU. However, 3DMark Time Spy is a synthetic benchmark, and its results may not perfectly match real-world performance.
A few months back, a data breach atClevoallegedly highlighted how Nvidia plans to configure its RTX 50 laptop GPU family. Long story short, superseding the RTX 4060 laptop GPU, we have the RTX 5060 laptop GPU under the codename “GN22-X4”. If plans haven’t changed and the leak is accurate, the RTX 5060 and RTX 5070 laptop GPUs will have just 8GB of VRAM using GDDR7 technology.
The flagship RTX 5090 laptop GPU should stick with 16GB, similar to its Ada Lovelace counterpart. While professionals typically prefer workstation offerings, it’s unclear whether Blackwell’s mobile workstation counterpart will offer more than 16GB of memory.

Avendorsuggests that Nvidia might release RTX 50 laptop GPUs alongside their desktop versions, and today’s leak further corroborates that claim. This is a notable departure from Team Green’s usual approach; However, we’ll have to wait for the official reveal to get more information.
