GeForce RTX 5070 laptops spotted online with 12 GB VRAM

An internet sleuth with a decent track record of sniffing out products before they’re official has spotted something interesting. Two completely different laptops from Lenovo and Asus have received a minor, but necessary upgrade in the GPU department. Apparently, the GeForce RTX 5070 will get a VRAM bump from 8 GB to 12 GB.

The first laptop is a Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 15IPH11, and the second one Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 GU405AP-SY022X. The Yoga Pro can be found on Lenovo’s website, while the corresponding ROG Zephyrus G14 listing correctly lists the RTX 5070 with 8 GB VRAM.

Now, it could be entirely possible that both companies made a typo on their websites. After all, the RTX 5070 Ti does come with 12 GB GDDR7 VRAM and the ‘Ti’ may have been accidentally dropped. However, the ROG Zephyrus G14 in question cannot be configured with an RTX 5070 Ti, with the GPU being available only alongside the Zephyrus G16.

This leaves us with an interesting hypothesis- Nvidia may have recognised that 8 GB VRAM is woefully inadequate for the RTX 5070 laptop and deemed it fit for an upgrade. On the flip side, this could also imply Nvidia is consolidating its laptop GPU lineup and axing the RTX 5070 Ti laptop variant altogether. The GB205 dies from the now-cancelled RTX 5070 Ti laptop might find themselves in RTX Pro 3000 Blackwell mobile workstations.
