Powerful laptops are critical to today’s mobile and hybrid-based workforce. Now NVIDIA has helped the cause by announcing two new laptop GPUs that bring generative AI and advanced visualization capabilities to users.
RTX 500 and 1000
Whether you are an architect, engineer, 3D content creator, or AI researcher, the new NVIDIA RTX 500 and 1000 Ada Generation laptop GPUs will soon be available in new, thinner, and highly portable mobile workstations.
NVIDIA’s Ada Lovelace generation GPU chip powers the new RTX 500 and RTX 1000 mobile GPUs.
The Ada Lovelace architecture-based GPU lineup now includes the RTX 2000, 3000, 3500, 4000, and 5000 laptop GPUs. The new RTX 500 and 1000 include neural processing units (NPUs), a component of the CPU, and an NVIDIA RTX GPU, with its onboard tensor cores for AI processing. The NPU offloads light AI tasks while the GPU delivers an additional 682 TOPS of AI performance.
The Power of AI
Mobile workstation professionals across a range of industries can benefit from the enhanced Ada Lovelace architecture and AI processing benefits. Video editors can remove background noise with AI. 3D rendering professionals can use AI to accelerate high-fidelity images and animations.
Architects can leverage a 14x performance increase in generative AI performance from models like Stable Diffusion, which is now at the core of tools like Graphisoft’s Archicad 27, to iterate visualized concepts in architecture rapidly.
The RTX 500 and 1000 GPUs deliver the following general results:
- Third-generation RT Cores: Up to 2x the ray tracing performance of the previous generation for high-fidelity, photorealistic rendering.
- Fourth-generation Tensor Cores: Up to 2x the throughput of the previous generation, accelerating deep learning training, inferencing and AI-based creative workloads.
- Ada Generation CUDA cores: Up to 30% the single-precision floating point (FP32) throughput compared to the previous generation for significant performance improvements in graphics and compute workloads.
- Dedicated GPU memory: 4GB GPU memory with the RTX 500 GPU and 6GB with the RTX 1000 GPU allows users to run demanding 3D and AI-based applications, as well as tackle larger projects, datasets and multi-app workflows.
- DLSS 3: Delivers a breakthrough in AI-powered graphics, significantly boosting performance by generating additional high-quality frames.
- AV1 encoder: Eighth-generation NVIDIA encoder, aka NVENC, with AV1 support is up to 40% more efficient than H.264, enabling new possibilities for broadcasting, streaming and video calling.
The NVIDIA RTX 500 and 1000 Ada generation laptop GPUs will be available spring of 2024 in new mobile workstations from global computer manufacturers, including partners Dell Technologies, HP, Lenovo, and MSI.
