Nvidia’s RTX 4090 laptop GPU has been spotted in an HP Omen gaming notebook along with a slew of other Lovelace mobile graphics cards, plus these portables are all powered by an upcoming new Raptor Lake mobile CPU.
This leak comes from @momomo_us on Twitter (as video cardz (opens in new tab) marked), who saw the HP Omen machines listed on a European retailer’s website, but given that this is an unknown outlet, we have to be particularly careful with these rumored specs provided through product listings.
The retailer lists six variations of the incoming HP Omen 17 that are all powered by Intel’s Core i7-13700HX CPU – a mobile part expected to be unveiled at CES – and all have Nvidia Lovelace GPUs.
The top model runs with the RTX 4090 laptop graphics card, which is listed with 16 GB of VRAM (no other specs are given here, just the memory configuration).
We also see two Omen 17 laptops with an RTX 4080 (equipped with 12 GB of VRAM), a machine with an RTX 4070 (8 GB), and a few more with the RTX 4060 (also 8 GB).
Prices are in Lei, Romanian currency – so we can assume this is of course a Romanian retailer – and the best HP Omen with RTX 4090 goes for 18,881 Lei. That works out to around $4,000 / £3,300 / AU$6,000, but take that with even more spice than the rest of this leak (i.e. a whole lot).
Analysis: A beast of a laptop flagship?
If this leak turns out to be correct, then we’re apparently looking at an RTX 4060 all the way up to an RTX 4090 for laptop GPUs, about to be unveiled at CES (along with Intel’s new Raptor Lake mobile offering, as mentioned) . An RTX 4050 is also rumored, and could theoretically come as well, just not in an HP Omen (the RTX 4050 was actually seen in leaked benchmarks for a Samsung Galaxy Book Pro laptop).
What’s also interesting here is that the rumor mill has been quite uncertain as to what the top model for Lovelace mobile will be, and seeing that it could be an RTX 4090, we’re expecting a pretty powerful laptop GPU that really boosts frame rates . for gaming on the go. (Remember, the Ampere generation topped out with the RTX 3080 Ti for notebooks; there was no 3090 for laptops).
Unfortunately, we don’t get specs other than the memory loads, although that hasn’t stopped whispers of the possibility that the RTX 4090 is a laptop graphics card that could match the power of the desktop RTX 3090, even (or at least close to it). come). A previous leak pointed out that the 4090 mobile uses the AD103 chip (AD102 is just too much for the limits of a notebook chassis) with a TGP of up to 175W (but honestly that rumor is another vague rumor we should stay more more skeptical than usual).
So there’s still a lot of doubt in the air about how Lovelace laptop GPUs will really take shape, but we should know that in less than a month now. At CES, we’re expecting full-featured gaming laptops using Intel’s Raptor Lake mobile processors paired with RTX 4000 graphics cards.
