Arrr, me hearties! The Blackwell GPU double bill may be walkin' the plank this year, and if it does manage to stay afloat, there be a chance ye'll be needin' to watch out for a sneaky catch! Aye, ye best be keepin' a weather eye out, mateys! Arrr!
Nvidia’s RTX 5080 GPU may not make an appearance this year, but there's some good news about next-gen Blackwell graphics cards. Moore’s Law is Dead recently discussed Blackwell and suggested that only the RTX 5090 might be released this year, with the possibility of the RTX 5080 also showing up. The reveal of Blackwell is expected at Computex, and the RTX 5090 could hit shelves as early as October.A second source also hints at an earlier launch, possibly in Q3 or Q4, and confirms the Computex announcement. Additionally, Blackwell’s top-end mobile GPUs are expected to be more powerful, with the potential for an RTX 5080 mobile chip to feature the GB203. Nvidia is likely using GDDR7 for both laptop and desktop GPUs.While the idea of an RTX 5080 desktop card in 2024 might be dampened, the focus on AI by Nvidia could delay the release of gaming graphics cards. Production levels may be low due to prioritizing AI chips over GeForce gaming cards. Despite these challenges, the possibility of a 2024 launch for RTX 5000 GPUs remains, albeit with potential supply constraints.
