Nvidia looks to be revamping RTX 3050 mobile GPU with current-gen tech – and that might mean better battery life for budget gaming laptops

Nvidia might be revamping a past-gen laptop GPU with a current-gen chip, or at least this is what some clues that have just been aired suggest.

The theory is that there’s a new ‘RTX 3050 A’ mobile graphics card, with the ‘A’ suffix indicating this is a fresh flavor of the GPU which uses an AD106 chip – that’s a Lovelace GPU (used in the RTX 4060 and 4060 Ti desktop, and 4070 mobile). This replaces the Ampere GA107 chip seen in the current RTX 3050 mobile.
