Source: en.wikipedia.org (verified 2026-07-07) · corroborated by newegg.com. Re-verified against the fetched Wikipedia GeForce RTX 50 series desktop table (RTX 5050 is the leftmost data column). All specs confirmed verbatim there: GPU die GB207-300, 2,560 CUDA cores, boost 2.57 GHz (row "2.31 2.57"), 8 GB GDDR6, 128-bit bus, PCIe 5.0 x8 host interface, 130 W TDP, plus the 1 Jul 2025 release date and the $249 Launch MSRP (USD). Slot width has no value in the table and no Founders Edition exists (Nvidia offered no reference samples for the RTX 5050), so slot_width is left null. Newegg's RTX 5050 retail listings independently confirm the exact model shipping as 8 GB GDDR6 / PCI Express 5.0 x8 AIB cards from MSI, GIGABYTE, ZOTAC, PNY, ASUS, and MAXSUN, including an ASUS PRIME RTX 5050 8GB at $249.99 (refurbished/out of stock). All three pages agree on the core specification.
