RTX 5090, RTX 5080 Laptop GPUs Leak Alongside ASUS ROG Gaming Laptops
It is barely a surprise that the desktop RTX 50X0-series cards will be accompanied by laptop variants soon after their launch. And as such, multiple listings of upcoming gaming laptops have appeared on the internet. The information is rather intriguing, to say the least. The leaked listings indicate that both AMD and Intel will have products ready to join forces with Blackwell, with Intel's Arrow Lake-HX and, rather shockingly, Ryzen 7000HX-series from Team Red - much to the chagrin of those expecting Ryzen 9000HX to drop sooner. The listings also reveal some other specifications, such as the display, but there is nothing notable there - it's the typical spread of mini LED and OLED panels.
Among the leaked laptops, we have the ROG Strix Scar 18, which will pack up to a Core Ultra 9 285HX "Arrow Lake-HX" CPU, along with either an RTX 5080, or an RTX 5090 GPU. Disappointingly, it appears that the RTX 5090 will be limited to only 16 GB of VRAM, which is half that of its desktop counterpart. The RTX 5080 will also be available with 16 GB of VRAM, which certainly makes us sigh in relief. A lower-tier laptop, namely the Strix 16, has also been leaked, packing either an RTX 5070 Ti, or an RTX 5060 GPU with 12 GB and 8 GB of VRAM respectively. The laptops further down will also have the entry-level RTX 5050, with 8 GB of VRAM as well. Of course, all of this is on the new GDDR7 spec. The full-resolution image of the leaked listings can be found here.

Didn't they used to put a "m" on mobile GPUs to just KIND of let knowledgeable users know that its not the same as the desktop part. They try to hide it now?
They got rid of it back with 900 series when they released a "desktop" GTX 980 for laptops which was in fact a fully enabled GPU though of course it ran at lower clocks, ever since then they got rid of the "M" even though the actual GPU dies went back to being different from the desktop ones. Classic Nvidia move.
Today, they can get away with murder and people will not only defend them but will pay for their lawyers. :)

“My %CPU% and Nvidia 50x0 on my %manufacturer% 14” dynasty edition 4mm thick magnesium body gets soft during extended gameplay and reaches 400c, what settings do I use in TS to get 900fps and no performance degradation?” -Thanks
Also, cpu clocked super high doesn't really seem to matter for a lot of games, so a 45w or even 35w cpu, combined with a 140w or 120w dedicated gpu could go a long way. It's just so sad they feel the need to constantly bungle laptop design.
For whatever reason Nvidia got real conservative with hose core designs.
2080 Super Mobile was 150W TGP and the desktop version was 250W. Same TU104.
Eg:-
GTX 1050TI = GTX 1050TI mobile = 768 cuda cores
GTX 1060 = GTX 1060 mobile = 1280 cuda cores
GTX 1070 = 1920 cuda cores, GTX 1070 mobile = 2048 cores
GTX 1080 = GTX 1080 mobile = 2560 cuda cores
Turing kept the same die between mobile and desktop but mobile variants were severely downclocked to have reasonable TDP limits.
From Ampere onwards, they had different designations again.
Overall I see ignorance of how much laptops are compromised left and right.
