GeForce RTX 5000 GPUs Rumored For A 2024 Launch And Big Efficiency Uplift

Is it too early to begin speaking about NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 50 sequence? Apparently not, because the rumor mill is buzzing about NVIDIA’s eventual next-gen graphics card lineup and the underlying GPU structure that may succeed Ada Lovelace. Naturally we advise taking this all with a wholesome dose of skepticism because the GeForce RTX 40 sequence remains to be discovering its legs.

That mentioned, there are a number of moving components at play that might have an effect on NVIDIA’s next-gen GPUs. For one, NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang dropped a touch that it would source Intel for a few of its future chips. Whereas we do not know too many specifics but, NVIDIA and Intel are on the very least exploring the thought of working collectively.

“You already know that we additionally manufacture with Samsung, and we’re open to manufacturing with Intel. Pat has mentioned previously that we’re evaluating the method, and we lately acquired the check chip outcomes of their next-generation course of, and the outcomes look good,” Huang mentioned throughout a roundtable interview at Computex.

NVIDIA can also be closely invested in synthetic intelligence, which has helped the chip designer to tag a $1 trillion market cap because it seems forward to subsequent quarter. This issues as a result of it may doubtlessly have an effect on NVIDIA’s objectives for its next-gen GPUs.

Throughout that very same roundtable interview. Huang dismissed the notion that avid gamers may take a backseat to AI going ahead.

“Primary, RTX was invented for avid gamers and for RTX, the know-how, an important know-how is AI. With out AI, we couldn’t do ray tracing in actual time. It was not even attainable. And the primary AI venture in our firm—the primary AI focus was Deep Studying Tremendous Sampling (DLSS). Deep studying. That’s the pillar of RTX,” Huang mentioned.

Huang additionally pointed to its Avatar Cloud Engine (ACE) for Video games know-how as extra proof that gaming and AI are intertwined.

So with all that in thoughts, what does it imply for the GeForce RTX 50 sequence? It is too early to know for positive, however in accordance with YouTuber RedGamingTech, NVIDIA’s next-gen lineup will debut subsequent yr and ship a “HUGE” efficiency leap.

There’s not a number of meat to the rumor and a big portion of the 13-and-a-half-minute video is dedicated to rambling about things that aren’t straight associated to the GeForce RTX 50 sequence. However there are few nuggets to digest. Certainly one of them is NVIDIA’s reference to “Hopper Subsequent” throughout Huang’s keynote at Computex.

Based on RedGamingTech, Hopper Subsequent is “principally Blackwell” and is “going to be bifurcated, which isn’t too shocking, we have seen it earlier than after all from NVIDIA across completely different product segments.”  That may purportedly embrace GeForce RTX 50 components for desktops and laptops, in addition to excessive efficiency computing (HPC) SKUs.

There’s additionally a point out of SK hynix’s confirming that its HBM3E reminiscence is on observe to indicate up within the first half of 2024. Nevertheless, we might be shocked if NVIDIA employed HBM3E on its shopper GPUs.

Alongside the identical subject, there is not any point out of what the reminiscence allotment will appear like for future GPUs. NVIDIA has drawn some criticism for not outfitting its playing cards with extra VRAM, which prompted AMD to go on the offensive. However that, together with all the things else concerning the next-gen lineup, is a dialogue for an additional day.
