Lenovo has listed its Legion gaming desktop systems and it includes the currently unreleased Nvidia RTX 3050 and 3060 GPUs as well. Lenovo listed the unreleased GeForce RTX graphics cards in the specifications of its upcoming Legion desktop gaming PCs which will feature 10th Gen Intel CPUs along with GTX 1600, RTX 2000, and 3000 series graphic cards.
The upcoming Lenovo Legion R5 28IMB05 desktop gaming PC can be customized with up to an RTX 3070 graphics card but the interesting thing is the offering of RTX 3060 and RTX 3050 graphics which aren’t even announced yet by NVIDIA. The Legion R5 however is not offering the RTX 3060 Ti which is already released.
NVIDIA has also changed the name of one of the unreleased graphic card. The card which was previously known as the RTX 3060 6 GB, will now be called the RTX 3050 Ti and the card can also be seen in the Lenovo Legion spec listing. Both RTX 3050 Ti and RTX 3060 are said to be based on the GA 106 GPU. RTX 3060 is expected to have 3840 CUDA cores with 12 GB GDDR6 VRAM, while the RTX 3050 Ti is rumored to have 3584 cores with 6GB of GDDR6 memory.

The Lenovo Legion listing appears to confirm that the higher-end model will feature 12GB GDDR6 memory, which was allegedly dictated by the upcoming Radeon RX 6700 series also expected to feature such a memory capacity.
The list closes with RTX 3050, the only model based on GA107 GPU. This card would have 2304 CUDA cores and up to 4GB of GDDR6 memory, but the memory bus would be limited to 128-bits. NVIDIA is now expected to unveil GA106 GPUs in January, possibly during its January 12 GeForce Special Broadcast event. We will have to wait and see what NVIDIA has to tackle AMD’s Big Navi cards.
