Gaming laptops now feature NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 50 Series mobile devices, from the monstrous RTX 5090 Laptop to the more reasonable RTX 5060 Laptop. But it seems that the range of mobile solutions based on the Blackwell architecture is not yet complete: a GeForce RTX 5050 Laptop is still in the manufacturer's pipeline.
On the page dedicated to the specifications of the graphics solutions used in its laptops, Acer also let slip some specifications of this future card, before removing them shortly after. In addition to confirming the existence of this model, Acer's indiscretions allow us to learn a little more about this upcoming mobile RTX 5050.
An entry-level replacement for the mobile RTX 4050
While the exact GPU model used has not been leaked (we can still expect it to be a variant of NVIDIA's GB206 or GB207), Acer did indicate for a few hours on its site that several configurations of the RTX 5060 Laptop were planned, with different levels of configuration and operating frequency.
This replacement for the RTX 4050 Laptop would thus display a maximum consumption of between 50 watts and 100 watts with Boost frequencies ranging from 1500 MHz to 2550 MHz. The Dynamic Boost – a technology that allows a portion of the thermal envelope dedicated to the CPU to be reallocated to the GPU, as long as the overall consumption does not exceed a certain value associated with the performance of the cooling system used – of 10 to 15W would even allow this maximum frequency to be increased a little further, by a hundred megahertz.

The date of arrival on the market of entry-level machines equipped with a mobile RTX 5050 is unfortunately not yet known, but their appearance will in practice lower the entry ticket of the Blackwell architecture, with its new features and improvements, on the gaming laptop market.
