Nvidia may not launch its RTX 5000 graphics playing cards till the beginning of subsequent 12 months, at CES 2025.
That is at odds with most of the rumors so far, which level to a late 2024 launch for the next-gen Blackwell GPUs, although there have been whispers of a ‘delay’ to 2025 (in different phrases, that Nvidia is pushing again the discharge schedule, in concept).
The newest phrase comes from well-known leaker Kopite7kimi on X who dropped a brief put up to counsel a CES 2025 reveal is now trying doubtless.
One other leaker, RedGamingTech (a YouTuber) additionally chimed in on the thread on X to say that that is what he’s been listening to too – and as we talked about, there have been different whispers saying the late 2024 arrival might not occur in spite of everything for Blackwell.
Evaluation: Is a 2024 launch now trying much less doubtless?
Clearly, we shouldn’t learn an excessive amount of into a brief tweet (are they nonetheless known as tweets? – effectively, we’re nonetheless calling them that anyway). Particularly as Kopite7kimi’s concise put up isn’t couched in definitive phrases (he ‘thinks’ that is the case).
Actually, it’s not unfathomable for Nvidia to attend, by any means, 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 any case, there’s no warmth in any way from the competitors proper now – RDNA 4 is supposedly not arriving till early 2025 both. Moreover, AMD will solely have rival graphics playing cards within the mid-range anyway – they gained’t be close to the RTX 5080.
Additionally, Nvidia might need to prioritize Blackwell chips for AI utilization, too, somewhat than sticking them in its prime gaming graphics playing cards, so for the latter to be pushed again appears a not unreasonable prospect.
However, some rumors are nonetheless saying late 2024, and a latest leak from a laptop computer producer indicated RTX 5000 cell GPUs may arrive at CES 2025 – so desktop graphics playing cards would wish to return out first in that case. (Even when they have been solely pushed out as a so-called ‘paper launch’ with little inventory out there).
Nevertheless, we’ve bought to confess, later in 2024 is trying somewhat shakier now, as time rolls on. Additionally, this does elevate the attention-grabbing prospect of a double-reveal of Nvidia Blackwell and AMD RDNA 4 at CES 2025, even when they gained’t be instantly competing GPUs. Nvidia’s mid-to-lower-tier choices for RTX 5000 are actually not anticipated till 2025, and sure later within the 12 months, not that early on – which is why there’s no rush for AMD, both.
Promoting via sufficient present current-gen inventory can be going to be a priority for each GPU makers, in addition, and the way that progresses as 2024 ticks by.
