Technology giant Nvidia continues to update the RTX 3000 family after the RTX 4000 Ada Lovelace architecture. So much so that we have mentioned to you before that the RTX 3060 and RTX 3060 Ti have been updated with higher memory modules and capacities. Finally, a new RTX 3050 version has appeared on China’s retail platforms. So what does the new GPU offer? Let’s take a look together.A new RTX 3050 version has appeared
If we remember, the entry model of the Nvidia Ampere architecture, the RTX 3050, was offered for sale in 2022 with different features for both desktop and mobile. At this point, the RTX 3050 has a GA106-150 GPU, 8GB of GDDR6 memory, and 2,560 CUDA cores, while the mobile version is paired with a GA107 GPU, 4GB of memory, and 2,048 CUDA cores. However, Nvidia may be working on a budget-oriented version.
As reported, a new RTX 3050 version has appeared on China-based retail platforms. Judging by the images, this new GPU is limited to 2048 CUDA cores, 8GB memory capacity, 128-bit memory bus and 65W TDP, similar to the mobile version. It also eliminates the need for an external power connector in addition to the 1,500MHz clock speed.It should be noted that this news is not surprising. Today, many manufacturers, especially AMD, offer cropped products for the Chinese market. The new RTX 3050, on the other hand, started to be listed in China with a price tag of 1999 RMB, or $278. However, it is not yet clear whether this version will reach the global market.
