Impressive RTX 4060 laptop GPU performs on par with RTX 3070 Ti laptop and beats RTX 3060 mobile by 27% in preliminary review

The RTX 4060 laptop GPU is set to appear later this month. Based on the AD107 “Lovelace” GPU, the card packs 3,072 CUDA cores, 8 GB of VRAM, a 128-bit memory bus, and a TGP of up to 115 W. Although Nvidia has yet to lift the embargo on the RTX 4060, a Chinese reviewer going by the name of “Zhongzheng Evaluations” has already put the GPU through its paces.
