Desktop GPUs continue to consume more power as the number of compute power increases. With the debut of the RTX 3080 Ti Mobile, the first laptop GPU with a 175W TGP is in the works.

To date, the RTX 2080 Mobile has the greatest power consumption of any laptop GPU, with a TGP of 150W. However, with the introduction of the RTX 3080 Mobile, that consumption has been decreased to 115W. Because of the limited size of the heatsink on the RTX 3080 Ti Mobile, laptop cooling will be pushed to its limitations when the card is released. The card will provide an incredible 175W, pushing laptop cooling to its boundaries.

At this time, the exact number of Cuda Cores on the RTX 3080 Ti Mobile is unknown; however, all indications point to the fact that it will be built on the GA103 core and will have 7424 Cuda Cores. Also planned are a 256-bit bus and 16GB of GDDR6 memory running at 16Gbps, which will allow for a bandwidth of 512GB/s, which will have an impact on power consumption. The RTX 3080 Ti Mobile is scheduled to be unveiled with an RTX 3070 Ti Mobile with 8GB GDDR6 and 150W TGP on January 4, as well as new desktop products such as the RTX 3090 Ti and RTX 3050, so there will be plenty of new items to delight us during Nvidia's CES 2022 conference on January 4. We'll keep you informed as events unfold.

With a TGP of 175W, the RTX 3080 Ti Mobile will be the most powerful laptop GPU ever.
