NVIDIA has unveiled its RTX 50-series (Blackwell) GPUs for laptops alongside the desktop lineup, promising impressive performance gains without compromising efficiency. The next-gen hardware features powerful upgrades, including up to 24GB of GDDR7 memory for flagship model. With retail availability set for March and April, CES 2025 attendees are already getting an advanced look at several laptops featuring the GPUs.

The flagship RTX 5090 laptop GPU boasts a staggering 10,496 CUDA cores across 84 Streaming Multiprocessors — nearly matching the desktop RTX 5080 in raw specs. Equipped with 24GB of VRAM using 3GB GDDR7 modules, it operates on a 256-bit memory interface.

The RTX 5080 laptop GPU steps down to 7,680 CUDA cores (60 SMs) and 16GB of memory, matching its predecessor in capacity. It still delivers solid AI performance at 1,334 TOPS, with a flexible TGP range of 80W to 150W.

Meanwhile, the RTX 5070 series is split into two models: the RTX 5070 Ti laptop GPU with 5,888 CUDA cores and 12GB of memory, and the base RTX 5070 laptop GPU, which drops to 4,608 cores and 8GB of VRAM.

Efficiency is a focal point for these GPUs. NVIDIA claims that the RTX 5070 laptop GPU, running at 50-100W, can match the performance of the desktop RTX 4090 while using half the power. Blackwell GPUs also bring updates to NVIDIA’s Max-Q technology, designed to optimize power efficiency for laptops. Key advancements include Advanced Power Gating, which shuts down inactive GPU sections, and Low Latency Sleep, allowing the GPU to quickly enter and exit sleep states to save power during light use.

During its CES presentation, NVIDIA revealed the pricing structure for mobile Blackwell GPUs: Partner costs for the RTX 5090, RTX 5080, RTX 5070 Ti, and RTX 5070 are $2,899, $2,199, $1,599, and $1,299, respectively. This pricing reflects what manufacturers pay, so the final cost for laptops featuring these GPUs will be higher.

Cemplicity — a leading health-tech company founded in 2013 — has launched its advanced platform in the UAE, aiming to revolutionize patient care and streamline healthcare operations to improve clinical outcomes.

Designed to analyze patient-reported data in real-time, the platform incorporates Patient-Reported Experience Measures (PREMs) and Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) to collect and analyze patient feedback. By transforming the data into actionable insights, healthcare providers will be better equipped to improve quality of care and increase efficiency.

Cemplicity’s technology can even tackle chronic conditions like diabetes, which affects 12.3% of the UAE population. By enabling regular symptom tracking and side-effect monitoring (even when patients are at home) the platform ensures proactive care management, and can also optimize early detection and screening of cancers.

Blaik Wilson, Cemplicity’s CEO, shared: “We are excited to bring Cemplicity to the UAE, a nation committed to healthcare excellence. With the private healthcare sector evolving at an impressive pace, partnering with such forward-thinking providers enables us to transform patient feedback into meaningful insights that enhance patient experiences and improve outcomes”.

Wilson added: “Globally, healthcare produces 30% of the world’s data volume. Aggregating and anonymizing patient-reported data not only uncovers trends and evaluates treatment outcomes but also advances the UAE’s broader ambition to lead in medical research and innovation”.

With a presence in nine countries and partnerships with major healthcare providers like the UK’s National Health Service (NHS), Cemplicity has already redefined how hospitals and clinics leverage patient feedback. Its tools, known for achieving high survey response rates, help link patient experiences to organizational KPIs and Net Promoter Scores (NPS), enabling measurable improvements in operations, and clinical outcomes, while fostering a culture of continuous improvement.

For the UAE market, the platform has been specially adapted to local needs, offering multilingual support (including Arabic) and seamless integration with tools such as WhatsApp and various hospital management systems.
