Summary
"Demand for GeForce RTX remains strong, and memory supply is contrastrained. The first 12GB 5070-equipped laptops are slated to start shipping sometime in June, with manufacturers like ASUS, Lenovo and MSI likely to offer the video card as an option in some of their models. NVIDIA has yet to share the full spec list for the 12GB 5070, but as the company notes, it’s using 24Gb G7 memory, instead of 16GB G7 memory, for the new model. That said, unless NVIDIA has redesigned the 5070 to equip it with a wider 192-bit bus interface, which seems unlikely in this case, the new model won't be able to access that additional memory as fast as the 5070 Ti and other models above it in NVIDIA's stack.
