Nvidia's RTX 3050 Pops Up in Unreleased Tiger Lake-H Laptop

The ever-insightful benchmark database detective @TUM_APISAK has just shared Geekbench 5 results for a Samsung laptop powered by unreleased hardware from both Intel and Nvidia. The mysterious laptop in question is called the 760XDA, and it comes equipped with a Core i5-11400H processor and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 mobile GPU.

This is the first we've heard of a Core i5-11400H, and Geekbench 5 lists the chips as a 6-core 12 thread part, leading us to believe the 11400H should be the Tiger Lake-H successor to the previous-gen Core i5-10400H.

The Nvidia RTX 3050 is even more interesting, though. We've heard rumors of an RTX 3050 for months now, but this Geekbench 5 result is as close as we've come to seeing potential specifications for the unreleased silicon.

This new entry-level GPU features "RTX" branding from Nvidia, so we can fully expect this 3050 to feature both ray-tracing cores, and tensor cores for DLSS support. If accurate, this would be Nvidia's first entry-level GPU to feature both technologies. Hopefully, the GPU will have enough horsepower to give gamers an incentive to use Nvidia's RTX features without suffering a severe frame rate penalty.

If this laptop is more than just a prototype, we should see Nvidia's RTX 3050 and Intel's new Tiger Lake-H CPUs on the market soon.
