Nvidia RTX 5070 mobile: VRAM boost coming?

New rumors suggest that the Nvidia RTX 5070 GPU for laptops may see an increase in VRAM. Initial specifications indicated 8GB, but recent sightings suggest the possibility of a 12GB configuration.

This enhancement, if confirmed, would be particularly significant in the context of the current global memory crisis, which is impacting the production and availability of numerous hardware components. It remains to be seen how Nvidia intends to manage the supply of VRAM for this mobile GPU, especially in conjunction with the introduction of the new Blackwell architectures.

For those evaluating on-premise deployments, there are trade-offs to consider. AI-RADAR offers analytical frameworks on /llm-onpremise to evaluate these aspects.
