Supposed AMD "Radeon RX 9000M" Laptop dGPU Identifiers and RDNA 4 CU Counts Leaked
Officially, AMD is set to reveal the next wave of RDNA 4—in desktop form—at some point within the second quarter of this year. Unlike its main rival—NVIDIA—company representatives have not publicly discussed a comprehensive branch-off into dedicated laptop graphics solutions. Team Red's previous-gen "Navi Mobile" Radeon RX 7000M lineup received little fanfare, and early 2025 "official" talk indicated that company engineers were focused on delivering RDNA 4 to desktop. Additionally, late March leaks suggested an increased future reliance on integrated RDNA 3.5-based graphics solutions. Seemingly out of nowhere, All The Watts!! has produced a list of six tentative Radeon RX 9000M family variants. As interpreted by VideoCardz, the leaker has cryptically included supposed compute unit (CU) counts and VRAM configurations. A rumored Radeon RX 9080M flagship SKU could be based on AMD's Navi 48 GPU design; prepped with 64 RDNA 4 compute units (or 4096 stream processors) and 16 GB of video memory.
The leaked Radeon RX 9070M XT's basic details match certain data points present on the rumored Radeon RX 9070 GRE 12 GB desktop card's specification sheet. VideoCardz reckons that the RX 9070M XT will also utilize Team Red's Navi 48 GPU, but with a reduced compute unit count of 48 (or 3072 SPs). The four remaining RDNA 4 laptop SKUs—RX 9070M, RX 9070S, RX 9060M and RX 9060S—are said to be based on company's Navi 44 GPU IP, and configured with 8 GB pools of VRAM. Two days ago, AMD hinted about new generation Radeon Mobile gaming experiences getting introduced at next month's Computex 2025 trade show.

I guess AMD could still try high end w/ the mobile chips this gen, but still, I guess if its real that would mean we did technically get a 9080 (just not the one anyone was expecting lol.)
Otherwise, I couldn't blame anyone for thinking this suggests a desktop RX 9080 on the horizon.
Also they really need to work better on the release schedules as by the times these are “released’ Nvidia will have already seen up the entire dGPU laptop space..
Which is really annoying as the 5000m series are “meh’ (5070ti mobile aside as it’s actually interesting) and the 9070 shows decent efficiency is possible with RDNA4. That and the 8060S is excellent but again not in enough readily available laptops,
Also, at least AMD puts an M after the model number, where Nvidia tries to make consumers believe they are getting a real RTX 5080 with their laptop.
You are criticizing nvidia ( as usual) but amd is literally pretending you are getting a card better than the 9070xt by using the 9080 naming yet in reality you are not. They are trying to fool the consumer hardcore.
