The RTX 4090 is headed to gaming notebooks, according to reputed leaker BenchLeaks. The new GPU will be faster than the desktop version of RTX 3090. Moreover, it will feature as many CUDA cores as the RTX 4080 16 GB video card for desktops. RTX 4090 is almost 50% faster than the non-laptop version of RTX 3070, according to the leaker.
GeekBench benchmark results for a laptop — “Notebook X370SNx” — featuring the GPU, paired with a Raptor Lake CPU and 32 GB of RAM, have been released as well. The card scores respectable numbers and makes high-end desktop rigs look shabby.
There is no information regarding the launch date of this flagship mobile GPU. Users should take the leaked information with a grain of salt, as the alleged “Notebook X370SNx” is not a confirmed laptop yet.

In addition to this, the specs of the graphics processor have been revealed as well. The Nvidia card is based on the AD103 GPU, like the RTX 4080 desktop card.
The RTX 4090 laptop version packs 9,728 CUDA cores, which is the same as that of the RTX 4080 full-size offering. It comes with 16 GB of GDDR6 memory and can boost up to 2,040 MHz. The GPU is clocked slower than the desktop variants of the 4090. This is no surprise, as laptops have a lower power limit and thermal headroom compared to larger non-portable PCs. The detailed spec list of the mobile graphics card is listed in the table below.
In terms of performance, the RTX 4090 laptop GPU is expected to level and even outperform the RTX 3090 Ti desktop graphics card. The item, however, will not be power efficient. The rated TDP is 150W, and the 4090 can draw an additional 25W of power when it hits the boost clock speed limit.
