AMD's upcoming RDNA 5 GPUs are reportedly codenamed after Transformers characters, with Alpha Trion likely being the flagship, Orion Pax / Optimus Prime as a high-end or console-specific GPU, and Ultra Magnus as a mid-tier or entry-level GPU, with launches expected next year.
AMD's upcoming RDNA 5 Radeon GPUs are rumored to feature significantly increased core counts, with over 12,000 cores on the top die, using 128 cores per compute unit, marking a substantial upgrade from RDNA 4. The lineup is expected to include four die configurations, aiming to improve performance and competitiveness against NVIDIA in high-end gaming segments.
Nvidia is reportedly planning to release the GeForce RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 gaming GPUs in Q4 2024, featuring the new 4nm Nvidia Blackwell architecture and GDDR7 memory. The RTX 5090 is rumored to have a massive 24,576 CUDA cores. This follows the launch of the RTX 4090 in 2022 and is expected to compete with AMD’s RDNA 4 graphics cards.
NVIDIA's upcoming GeForce RTX 50 "Blackwell" gaming GPUs are expected to retain similar memory bus configurations as the existing Ada lineup, with the flagship GB200 series chip likely to feature a 384-bit bus. The GPUs are rumored to be fabricated on the TSMC 3nm process node and may offer increased VRAM capacities, potentially addressing the demand for higher VRAM from gamers. The next-gen family is anticipated to launch in late 2024, featuring DisplayPort 2.1 support and FE Founders Edition cooling upgrades.
NVIDIA introduces Chat with RTX, a local AI chatbot that runs on your PC using Tensor-RT cores in RTX 30 or 40 series cards, leveraging large language models to provide insights into user-provided data without sending it to a cloud server. The chatbot can interpret YouTube video content, summarize details, and answer targeted questions, but has some issues with accuracy. Despite being in beta, it shows potential for surfacing information from user-provided data, making it useful for tasks like summarizing press releases. NVIDIA also recommends the RTX 4070 SUPER for those without an NVIDIA GPU, as it offers good value and performance for gaming.
Rumors about the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 suggest a 50% increase in scale, 52% increase in memory bandwidth, 78% increase in cache, 15% increase in frequency, and a 1.7x improvement in performance compared to the RTX 4090. The next-gen GPU lineup, codenamed Blackwell, will have distinct naming schemes for gaming and high-performance computing GPUs. The RTX 5090 may feature GDDR7 technology and a 512-bit memory bus, along with a 2.9 GHz boost clock and 128MB of L2 cache. However, these specifications are speculative, as the potential launch of the next-gen GeForce series is more than a year away.
