The Nvidia RTX 5000-series has been the subject of many rumors over the last year, with plenty of leaks teasing performance and specs. Thanks to a new rumor, we may have some interesting information concerning the RTX 5060’s power consumption as well.

A new statement from Chairman Wu Haijun of Shenzen Hasee Computer Co. (which manufacturers desktops, mini-PCs, and laptops), reported on by VideoCardz, reveals that the RTX 5060 laptop GPU may require less power than its predecessor, the Nvidia RTX 4060. The statement asserts that the 5060 will only need 115W of power compared to the 4000-series' 140W. The Chairman also stated that the 5060 will use GDDR7 memory, which is not particularly surprising considering prior leaks more or less hint at that spec.
