Insider Gaming reports unverified leaks from leaker KeplerL2 on NeoGAF suggesting the PS6 could use up to 30GB of GDDR7 memory and a portable PlayStation handheld (Project Canis) with as much as 24GB LPDDR5X; the claims are not officially confirmed and a 2027 release window has been floated, so take the details with skepticism.
A leak from Kepler L2 claims the PS6 could ship with 30GB of GDDR7 RAM on a 160-bit bus (640GB/s), a big jump from the PS5’s 16GB. But rising RAM costs amid a memory shortage could push the console’s MSRP higher, with some chatter suggesting up to a $100 increase for the 30GB configuration. The leak points to a 2026 arrival, with manufacturing in mid-2027 and a full launch in Fall 2027 or early 2028, though details should be treated as speculative.
NVIDIA reportedly scrapped the GeForce RTX 50 'SUPER' refresh and postponed the RTX 60-series (Rubin) as executives prioritize AI accelerators and high-density GDDR7 memory, delaying CES reveals and likely pushing mass production of the next-generation GPUs into 2027 or later due to memory supply constraints.
An industry insider claims NVIDIA will prioritize RTX 5060 production (and the 5060 Ti 8 GB) over the rest of the 50‑series, potentially making higher‑end GPUs scarcer and pricier amid DRAM/GDDR7 shortages and broader supply‑chain pressures impacting devices from laptops to consoles.

The new GPU is part of the upcoming RTX 50 "Blackwell" lineup, expected to be unveiled in the second half of the year.
Rumors suggest that Nvidia's upcoming RTX 50-series "Blackwell" GPUs, expected to launch in late 2024 or early 2025, will be based on the GB202 and GB203 GPUs, with the former being the flagship version. These GPUs may feature a 512-bit memory interface and 28Gbps GDDR7 memory, potentially offering a significant performance boost. However, details about multi-chip packaging and memory bus widths remain uncertain, and as with all rumors, these specifications should be taken with caution.
Nvidia's upcoming GeForce RTX 50-series (Blackwell) GPUs are rumored to feature GDDR7 memory, with leaked information suggesting that the memory interface configurations will be similar to the current Ada Lovelace series. The Blackwell family is expected to support higher data transfer rates and promise increased performance compared to existing memory solutions. The leaked details also hint at the potential use of 16 Gb or 24 Gb GDDR7 memory ICs with the initial GeForce RTX 50-series graphics boards, although the launch date remains uncertain.
Rumors suggest that the upcoming NVIDIA RTX 50 GB202 GPU, built on the Blackwell architecture, will feature a 384-bit memory bus and integrate GDDR7 memory, providing a significant boost in bandwidth. The flagship gaming processor is expected to have a configuration of 192 SM and potentially 24,567 CUDA cores. The release date is unclear, but it is speculated to be within a similar timeframe as the B100 and GB200 graphics accelerators, which are set to launch between 2024-2025.
