The tech world is buzzing with anticipation as rumors circulate about Nvidia’s next-gen graphics card lineup, specifically the RTX 5000 series codenamed “Blackwell.” Leaker Moore’s Law is Dead claims insider sources have hinted at a potential launch in the fourth quarter of 2024. With Nvidia’s RTX 4080 Super still pending release, the speculation surrounding the RTX 5000 series adds another layer of excitement to the ever-evolving landscape of high-performance GPUs.
According to information provided to content creator Moore’s Law is Dead, an unnamed source has revealed insights into the potential release of the RTX 5000 series. The source suggests that the Blackwell (RTX 5000) chip is being prepared for a launch in Q4 2024, contingent on various factors, including the performance of the upcoming RTX 4000 series (Ada) and the competitiveness of AMD’s RDNA 4 (RX 8000) during the holiday shopping season.
The decision to launch the RTX 5000 series appears to hinge on the success of the RTX 4000 series and the perceived competition from AMD’s RDNA 4 lineup. If Ada sales perform well and Nvidia anticipates a strong demand during the holiday season, the company might proceed with the launch of the Blackwell series. However, if challenges arise, there could be a strategic shift to accelerate the release to maintain a competitive edge.
Regardless of the launch timing, Nvidia is purportedly planning to showcase the RTX 5000 series at CES 2025. This suggests that the company aims to highlight the efficiency and capabilities of the next-gen GPUs, emphasizing their commitment to innovation and cutting-edge technology.
In the event that the RTX 4000 series refresh, expected to be unveiled at CES 2024, does not meet expectations, Nvidia might accelerate its plans for the RTX 5000 series. The possibility of mid-range cards not meeting the mark could be a driving factor in the decision-making process, prompting Nvidia to expedite the release of Blackwell to compensate for any perceived lost ground.
The rumored arrival of Nvidia’s RTX 5000 series in Q4 2024 adds a layer of excitement and speculation to the gaming and PC hardware community. As the tech giant navigates market dynamics and competition, enthusiasts eagerly await further details and official announcements. Whether the RTX 5000 series debuts in late 2024 or early 2025, one thing is certain – Nvidia is gearing up for another leap in graphics technology, promising a showcase of innovation and efficiency at CES 2025.
