Nvidia silently launched a new 12GB version of its RTX 5070 mobile GPU yesterday, featuring 24Gb (3GB) GDDR7 chips instead of the existing 16Gb (2GB) ones. That took the memory throughput from 384 GB/s to around 576 GB/s on an otherwise unchanged GPU. Apparently, that upgrade is worth an additional $500, at least, according to Framework's pricing.
NVIDIA officially announced the 12GB version of their RTX 5070 Laptop GPU, and we're happy to share that we have a new Graphics Module for Framework Laptop 16 with it. This is our 3rd Graphics Module, and we're living up to the promise of graphics upgradeability in a laptop! pic.twitter.com/4vsMyXLeSrApril 28, 2026
