RTX 5080 for notebooks surpasses RTX 4090 mobile in benchmark leak

A benchmark test for the RTX 5080 for notebooks appeared registered in the Geekbench database, indicating that someone managed to install the software and test one of the products being shown at CES 2025. The result of the new mobile graphics card shows it outperforming the RTX 4090 for notebooks, but it was in OpenCL.

OpenCL is not a test aimed at games, so it rarely appears in comparisons or reviews of video cards of this type. However, the score of 190,326 obtained by the RTX 5080 mobile shows some of its potential, when we compare the GPU to its predecessors.

Still talking about notebook models, the RTX 5080 test outperforms the RTX 5090 by 6% in the same benchmark, and the RTX 4080 by up to 18%. The comparison is made based on official card ranking data.

The RTX 5080 was tested on an Alienware 18 Area 51, confirming what was speculated when Dell revealed the return of this line. The GPU appears to reach 1.5GHz in its clock speed, so even better results are expected in ideal testing conditions with updated drivers.

According to VideoCardz, notebooks with RTX 5080 and other models from the RTX 50 series will only start arriving in stores from March this year. By then we should have leaked many benchmarks, but only after the launch will the more concrete results begin to appear.

The website also informs that the RTX 5080 for notebooks appears on devices starting at US$2,200. The Alienware 18 Area 51, however, has been listed with prices starting at $2,000. It’s a considerable difference in price, but both are still part of a range of premium products that certainly won’t be accessible to all players.
