GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop GPU makes Geekbench debut alongside new Razer Blade 16

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090's laptop variant has finally made its Geekbench debut. It shows up alongside the new Razer Blade 16, complete with an AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 and 32 GB of DDR5 RAM. However, this sample isn't performing at its full capacity, as evidenced by its score.

The GeForce RTX 5090 laptop scores 91,063 in Geekbench's OpenCL benchmark. This is less than half of the GeForce RTX 4090's median score of 190,680. This is almost certainly because it is running at just 1,500 MHz -clearly lower than its maximum value. While Nvidia hasn't explicitly revealed it, we can expect it to be a tad higher than the RTX 4090 laptop's boost clock of 2,040 MHz.

But, Geekbench isn't an ideal test for GPU performance, even less so when it is clearly throttling. It wouldn't be outlandish to assume the Razer Blade 16 is running on some kind of power saving mode. The listing also confirms some of the GeForce RTX 5090's key specs, such as 24 GB of VRAM and 82 Streaming Multiprocessors (SMs) for a total of 10,496 CUDA cores.
