Lenovo’s Next-Gen Legion Y530 Laptops May Offer Nvidia’s GeForce GTX 1160 GPU

Jul. 5, 2018

While we don’t have too many details about the upcoming GeForce 11 lineup from Nvidia, one would expect that the company will use GDDR6 memory instead of the older GDDR5X chips in its next-gen GPUs. On a 192-bit memory bus, 6GB of GDDR6 could potentially pump out an impressive 336GB/sec, which would be faster than the 320GB/sec bandwidth of the GTX 1080 that comes with GDDR5X.

Interestingly enough, this is not the first time that Lenovo has given the media an insight into Nvidia’s GPU plans. The Chinese tech giant had earlier confirmed that the next generation of Nvidia GPUs was going to be marketed as the GeForce 11-series, putting an end to speculations about whether they will be named GeForce 20xx.

In fact, in an interview to YouTube channel BrainBean at the E3 conference recently, the company alsorevealedthat its Legion Y730 desktop PCs will be shipped with up to a GTX 1180 down the road.
