PSREF lists RTX 4060 and 4070 (8GB GDDR6) and RTX 1000, 2000 and 3000 Ada options; maximum memory 64GB on one LPCAMM2 module. NVIDIA's RTX 40 laptop page gives no bandwidth figure, so it is left empty.

Speed is not known for this laptop. We have no sourced memory bandwidth figure, so the tables show fit only.

With 64 GB of memory

About 8 GB of it can hold a model.

Models marked "thinks first" can write out their reasoning before they answer, so a job takes longer than the speed alone suggests.

Speed is the speed of writing an answer, shown as a range. Reading speed is not estimated. How the estimates work · How close they are · Back to the finder
