NVIDIA is Offering 28 Variants of the RTX 30 Series Mobile GPUs to OEMs

Thanks to some detective work by ComputerBase, we’ve discovered that NVIDIA’s Ampere mobile offerings have as many as 28 variants. Yes, that’s right. 28 variants of just 3 GPUs. We’ve yet to see the budget-range RTX 3050 and the 3050 Ti, so expect that number to swell up to 30. Remember the GTX 1650?

* OEMs can provide the GPU with an additional 5, 10 or 15 watts via Dynamic Boost 2.0, which the CPU would otherwise be entitled to. The maximum available electrical power for the 3080, 3070 and 3060 in the notebook is 165, 140 and 130 watts.

Other than the standard Max-Q and Max-P (standard laptop version), each of these models has various TGP ranges, meaning OEMs can set them to any of the specified figures, rather than the one mentioned on NVIDIA’s website. For example, the RTX 3080 Max-P can have a TGP from 115W to 150W. As you can guess, that will have a drastic effect on the resultant performance due to the varying sustained boost clock. We’re looking at a delta ranging from 20-30% between the lowest-end and top-end models.

The reason for the varying TGPs is the difference in thermal solutions used by OEMs, but that should be listed on NVIDIA’s official site. Otherwise, you might end up buying a laptop that’s a good 20-25% slower than the marketed performance.
