Nvidia Introduces GeForce RTX 3050 A Laptop GPU with Ada Lovelace Architecture
The new variant uses down-binned AD106 silicon, promising efficiency improvements but limited performance gains.
- The RTX 3050 A features 1,792 CUDA cores and 4GB GDDR6 VRAM on a 64-bit bus.
- It leverages the Ada Lovelace architecture, previously seen in higher-end GPUs like the RTX 4060 Ti.
- This GPU is part of Nvidia's strategy to utilize less functional silicon by down-binning.
- The power consumption of the RTX 3050 A ranges from 35 to 50 watts TDP.
- DLSS 3 support remains uncertain, as Nvidia has not confirmed feature details.
