NVIDIA's RTX 500 and 1000 Ada GPUs bring more AI smarts to thin and light workstations

Just ahead of Mobile World Congress, NVIDIA unveiled its latest laptop GPUs and, what a surprise, they're designed largely to assist with AI processing. The RTX 500 and 1000 Ada Generation graphics cards are primarily for thin and light laptops. While they won't offer as much TOPS AI performance as current higher-end mobile GPUs, they could be a handy option for on-the-go AI processing for the likes of researchers, content creators and video editors. It's worth noting they're workstation GPUs rather than ones designed for gaming. NVIDIA says the GPUs, which are based on the Ada Lovelace architecture, offer up to twice the ray-tracing performance of previous-gen GPUs (they employ third-gen ray-tracing cores).
