NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 A Laptop GPU

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 A Laptop GPU

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 A Laptop GPU (mobile) is a modern Ada Lovelace variant of the RTX 3050 4GB Laptop GPU. However it offers greatly reduced cores (only 1,792) and a small 64 Bit memory bus for 4 GB GDDR6. At the time of release in mid 2024, the GPU was only intended for the Indian market.

The performance should be only similar to the old 4GB RTX 3050 Laptop GPU based on Ampere, due to the lower core count and small memory bus. 

The AD106 / AD107 chip is manufactured on the modern 5nm process at TSMC (4N) and therefore the GPU should offer a better power consumption than the old RTX 3050 variants (based on the Samsung 8N process). The power consumption is rated between 35 and 50 Watt for the 3050 A and therefore suited for thin multimedia laptops.
