In performance slides, NVIDIA states that the GeForce RTX 3050 Ti is 3.1x faster than Intel’s Tiger Lake-U in Adobe Premier Pro export time, 6.8x faster in Davinci Resolve, and 24x faster in Blender (rendering time) which is a pretty impressive boost. NVIDIA is comparing the Tiger Lake-U chip that offers a higher-end Iris Xe iGPU configuration to the one featured on Tiger Lake-H chips.

But that’s just content creator workload performance. Moving over to Gaming performance, with the help of DLSS and RTX enabled, NVIDIA is claiming a 1.5-2x performance improvement for the RTX 3050 Ti versus the GTX 1650 Ti which allows for 60 FPS+ 1080p gaming on various current-gen titles such as Call of Duty: Warzone, Outriders, Control, Watch Dogs: Legion and Minecraft (RTX).

So far, NVIDIA has announced a total of 140 design wins of RTX and RTX Studio laptops featuring its GeForce RTX 30 series and professional RTX laptops such as the RTX A5000, A4000, A3000 & A2000 which were announced at GTC 2021.
