Once every two years or so, technology enthusiasts like ourselves have our sights pinned on what the GPU giants have in store for us. That moment is here, with both NVIDIA and AMD unveiling their Blackwell and RDNA 4 products respectively. NVIDIA has also announced its laptop offerings, with the RTX 5080 Laptop attempting to rule the mainstream high-performance segment. Now, barely a day or two after launch, we already have a rough idea of how mobile Blackwell is going to perform.
The leaked Geekbench OpenCL results, which comes courtesy of the Alienware Area-51 laptop, reveals how well the RTX 5080 Laptop GPU performs in a 175-watt configuration. According to the numbers, the RTX 5080 Laptop managed to barely exceed the 190,000-points barrier, putting it miles ahead of its predecessor which managed around 160,000. Interestingly, as the headline notes, the RTX 4090 Laptop was also left behind, which scores around 180,000 points on average, although systems with beefier cooling setups can post higher numbers.
