Nvidia unveils RTX 500 and 1000 laptop GPUs for AI-enhanced workflow

As AI continues to expand its presence in workplaces across industries, Nvidia has decided to jump on the trend with two new AI-enhanced GPUs for professionals.

According to Nvidia’s official announcement, the GPUs are based on the Ada Lovelace architecture, which can also be seen in other Nvidia laptop GPUs, like the RTX 2000, 3000, 4000, and 5000. A good example would be the Lenovo Legion Pro 5i with Nvidia RTX 4060 GPU (curr $1,295 on Amazon). While these are geared towards gaming, other graphically-demanding tasks and advanced rendering, the two new GPUs are intended for lighter tasks, like high-quality video conferencing and AI upscaling.

The graphics cards will be primarily featured in thin and light laptops, and can be used for content creation, video editing, research purposes, and everyday productivity. The workstation GPUs are designed to deliver on-the-go AI-powered performance for professionals.

On the inside, the GPUs come loaded with third-generation ray tracing cores, fourth-generation Tensor Cores, Ada generation CUDA cores, DLSS 3, and AV1 encoder - all of which promise to deliver better and more powerful performance than the predecessors. The RTX 500 GPU will be available with 4GB memory, while the RTX 1000 will have a 6GB memory.

The official announcement also mentioned that the new generation laptop GPUs will be rolled out later this spring. The GPUs will be included in Dell, Lenovo, HP, and other partners’ workstations.
