My 5050 95w model beat my friend's desktop 5050 in Blackmyth Wukong and Cyberpunk 2077 when I undervolted it, reaching a clock speed of 2800MHz.

If you got a 5050 laptop with 115W Gpu and good cooling system your laptop is better than 5050 desktop (FE) because of higher memory bandwidth and higher boost clock. (15W difference doesn't change too much for blackwell chips.)

I have seen 5050 Laptop score much higher, the laptop 5050 is better than desktop one because of faster ddr7 memory.
