NVIDIA has released a new model of entry-level graphics processing unit (GPU) for notebook computers. Three models will be available: one for the GeForce series for gamers and two MX series for creators. 

2048 CUDA cores, boost clock 1,155 to 1,477MHz, power consumption 30 to 45W, memory bus width 64bit, memory speed up to 14Gbps, equipped with GDDR6 4GB video memory are some of the specs of the "GeForce RTX 2050 Laptop" designed specifically for gaming.......

This RTX 2050 will feature 2048 Cuda Cores, which sounds like it has more Cuda Cores than the RTX 2060 which has 1920 Cuda Cores. However, this is because it is based on Ampere and not Turing, and Nvidia counts Ampere's Cuda Cores as two instead of one and would actually equate to 1024 Turing Cuda Cores, effectively being well below the RTX 2060. .

A great limitation that this graphic will have is that it will have a bus of only 64 bits that limits the width to 112GB / s, which will strongly affect the performance of this new graphic. As it uses a 64-bit bus, it only has 4GB of GDDR6 VRAM, which is not bad for a low-end graphics.

As indicated by Nvidia, this RTX 2050 has all the technologies of the RTX line, including Ray-Tracing in real time and DLSS, so it will be interesting to see how it performs with RT activated when having so little bandwidth and a limit of power between 30W and 45W depending on the configuration chosen by the assembler. DLSS support could help to get good FPS without RT activated, although with RT activated the experience may not be the best even if we activate the AI rescaling technology.

This RTX 2050 will arrive on notebooks in the fall of 2022, so it is a long time to see it on the market and know its performance. Along with it will also arrive the new MX570 and MX550, whose specifications have not yet been revealed.
