Lenovo confirms GeForce RTX 5070 Mobile GPU with 12 GB of VRAM

Lenovo has jumped the gun a bit by posting specs and details for upcoming laptops that will reportedly ship with GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop GPUs featuring 12GB of GDDR7 memory, as opposed to the standard 8GB found on current RTX 5070 laptops. The models in question include the Legion Pro 5, with the listing (via Huang514613 on social media) detailing the new GPU and noting a Boost Clock speed of 2347 MHz and a TGP of 115W.

There are multiple Lenovo laptops on the way with the new and refreshed GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop GPUs, including productivity-focused Yoga devices. Although full spec details have yet to be confirmed by NVIDIA and these listings have been taken offline for the most part, the expectation is that these GPUs will feature newer 3GB GDDR7 memory modules, increasing VRAM capacity by 50%.

Huang514613, who spotted multiple listings, notes in his post that the embargo date for the new laptops is "around the end of April," so it could be a few weeks before we get any official confirmation.

Interestingly, it looks like the 12GB models will exist alongside the current 8GB variants as Lenovo's more affordable LOQ lineup includes listings for both 8GB and 12GB editions. And when it comes to these variants, we could be looking at notably slower gaming performance as the specs list a Boost Clock speed of 1425 MHz for 12GB models compared to 2347 MHz for 8GB models, which is a massive gap.

All in all, with eight Lenovo laptops listed as shipping with GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop GPUs with 12GB of GDDR7 memory, it certainly sounds like the cat is out of the bag on this one. Of course, with the current memory crisis driving up costs for all consumer technology, odds are these RTX 5070 12GB laptops could arrive at higher prices.
