Nvidia is developing the RTX 5000 series GPUs (based on the Blackwell architecture) and will probably launch them in the last quarter of 2024. This decision will largely depend on the sales performance of the current generation Nvidia RTX 4000 graphics card and the next AMD graphics card.
According to the YouTube channel Moore’s Law is Deadthe two most important factors will determine how well current generation sales do and how competitive RDNA 4 (Radeon RX 8000 series) will be.
Apparently, Nvidia wants to keep a close eye on how AMD’s next-gen RDNA 4 graphics architecture takes shape. The performance expected from the Blackwell architecture is also important. The performance improvement won’t be as dramatic as the jump we saw from the RTX 3000 to the RTX 4000. The RTX 4090 is an exemplary performer, but Nvidia may inject more power into the RTX 5090 if it feels threatened.
We’ve been hearing rumors about Blackwell’s specs for a while now. Last month, a leaker published the initial details of the RTX 5090: a possible 50% increase in cores, a 52% increase in memory bandwidth, a 78% increase in L2 cache capacity, a 15% increase in frequency and a 1.7x increase in processing power.
What happens after CES 2024 and the launch of the RTX 4000 Super series could also help finalize Blackwell’s release date. Earlier, an informed source told Zoomit that RTX 4000 Super will be unveiled in three models.
Nvidia is said to be planning to make a big deal for the better performance of the RTX 5000. The company is going to release its next generation graphics card by early 2025 at the latest.
The RTX 4000 series has received little attention, not because of product quality or performance, but because of its high price and little value in the market. The price of Nvidia graphics card has increased drastically in recent years.
Fast GPUs are mainly used in AI data centers. Nvidia may release a new series of GPUs to fix the current problems; But it is not clear whether this will be done or not.
