NVIDIA adds 12GB RTX 5070 laptop variant to ease memory shortages
NVIDIA is introducing a 12GB GeForce RTX 5070 for laptops, using 24Gb G7 memory to help address memory shortages. The first 12GB 5070-equipped laptops from makers like ASUS, Lenovo, and MSI are expected to ship in June. Pricing hasn’t been disclosed and could approach the cost of a 5070 Ti in some configurations. Even with more memory, the wider 192-bit bus likely won’t let the extra VRAM boost performance dramatically, so the benefit is mainly higher memory headroom rather than a large speed upgrade.
