Nvidia is well-known for producing top-tier graphics cards, and this reputation extends to their laptop offerings as well. Consequently, mobile gamers who are budget-conscious have their sights set on gaming laptops featuring Nvidia’s RTX 5060. Recently, preliminary benchmarks for these laptops have surfaced, and the results are quite promising.
It’s important to note that the RTX 5060 has not been released yet. The desktop version is anticipated to launch around May, but the timeline for the laptop version remains uncertain. However, with the initial benchmarks available for the mobile variant, it seems the release of these laptops is imminent. Until we receive the products for detailed reviews, it’s wise to approach the upcoming information with caution.
Initial Geekbench tests have emerged, featuring two laptops from Colorful. While this brand may not be the most prominent among Nvidia laptop manufacturers, they appear poised to introduce new models. One of the tested laptops, the Colorful iGame M15 Origo, seems to be an entirely new design that is not yet listed on the company’s website.
Now, let’s look at the benchmark results. Geekbench may not be the best metric for gaming performance, but it’s the only data available at this moment, with two OpenCL scores reported. The iGame M15 Origo achieved a score of 102,564 points, while the P15 Pro garnered 109,431 points. As noted by VideoCardz, this suggests that the RTX 5060 for laptops could be up to 18% faster than its predecessor.
Starting off with an 18% performance boost is promising, and we may see even higher scores when these laptops are assessed in gaming environments. Nvidia’s transition to GDDR7 memory could provide a significant advantage for these budget-friendly GPUs, offering the extra bandwidth they require. We will need to wait for more benchmarks to emerge to gain a clearer picture.
