Nvidia would possibly no longer release its RTX 5000 graphics playing cards till the beginning of subsequent yr, at CES 2025.
That is at odds with lots of the rumors so far, which level to a past due 2024 release for the next-gen Blackwell GPUs, even though there were whispers of a ‘lengthen’ to 2025 (in different phrases, that Nvidia is pushing again the discharge agenda, in idea).
The newest phrase comes from well known leaker Kopite7kimi on X who dropped a brief submit to indicate a CES 2025 exhibit is now taking a look most likely.
Every other leaker, RedGamingTech (a YouTuber) additionally chimed in at the thread on X to mention that that is what he’s been listening to too – and as we discussed, there were different whispers announcing the past due 2024 arrival would possibly not occur finally for Blackwell.
Research: Is a 2024 release now taking a look much less most likely?
Obviously, we shouldn’t learn an excessive amount of into a brief tweet (are they nonetheless known as tweets? – neatly, we’re nonetheless calling them that anyway). Particularly as Kopite7kimi’s concise submit isn’t couched in definitive phrases (he ‘thinks’ that is the case).
Indisputably, it’s no longer unfathomable for Nvidia to attend, whatsoever, as there’s no actual rush to get the RTX 5090 and 5080 out (that are rumored to be the primary two next-gen GPUs to reach). In the end, there’s no warmth in any way from the contest at this time – RDNA 4 is supposedly no longer arriving till early 2025 both. But even so, AMD will most effective have rival graphics playing cards within the mid-range anyway – they received’t be close to the RTX 5080.
Additionally, Nvidia might need to prioritize Blackwell chips for AI utilization, too, quite than sticking them in its best gaming graphics playing cards, so for the latter to be driven again turns out a no longer unreasonable prospect.
However, some rumors are nonetheless announcing past due 2024, and a up to date leak from a pc producer indicated RTX 5000 cell GPUs would possibly arrive at CES 2025 – so desktop graphics playing cards would wish to pop out first if that’s the case. (Although they had been most effective driven out as a so-called ‘paper release’ with little inventory to be had).
Then again, we’ve were given to confess, later in 2024 is taking a look a little bit shakier now, as time rolls on. Additionally, this does elevate the fascinating prospect of a double-reveal of Nvidia Blackwell and AMD RDNA 4 at CES 2025, even though they received’t be without delay competing GPUs. Nvidia’s mid-to-lower-tier choices for RTX 5000 are not at all anticipated till 2025, and most likely later within the yr, no longer that early on – which is why there’s no rush for AMD, both.
Promoting via sufficient present current-gen inventory may be going to be a priority for each GPU makers, besides, and the way that progresses as 2024 ticks by means of.
