Recently, the RTX 5060 Ti was released, and it came with two variants, 8GB and 16GB, priced at $379 and $429, respectively. Despite Computex last week, there was no confirmation of whether we'll get an entry-level RTX 5050 laptop GPU, like we have in the previous generations.

However, due to a presumed mishap, Acer's lineup of next-gen laptops revealed the existence of this laptop GPU, and it turns out it'll be featured in eight of its upcoming laptops. There are also other specifications, which we'll jump into now.

Acer RTX 5050 laptop specifications

In a post made by harukaze5719 on X, a screenshot of the spec sheet of the Acer laptops reveals many key specs. There are a total of eight RTX 5050 GPU laptops, two of which feature a 2,550 MHz boost clock with a 2,650 MHz PredatorSense Boost OC.

These are the fastest boost clocks of the bunch, and the GPU itself also has an MGP (Max Graphics Power) of 115W, which is good for a laptop GPU. After that, the boost clock and the MGP ramp down with each entry, decreasing from 95W to 85W, then to 75W, and finally, the lowest graphics power is listed at 60W.

At 60W, the GPU isn't getting a lot of power, so it'll most likely be held back in terms of productivity and gaming performance, but this is the trade-off for a lower price point. A higher power draw means the power brick needs to be robust, along with the cooling solutions such as more fans, a heatsink, a vapor chamber, and other technologies to keep the laptop from getting hot.

All of these aspects ramp up the price, so at the lower end, there is a bit of performance sacrifice. While the VRAM of the RTX 5050 laptop GPU hasn't been confirmed, we're expecting it to be 8GB, but we might also get a 6GB variant.
