Rumor has it that the GeForce RTX 5090 and 5080, the next flagships in Blackwell architecture, have surfaced thanks to @kopite7kimi, a renowned hardware leaker. Information from @kopite7kimi suggests that the GeForce RTX 5090 will utilize the GB202-300-A1 chip, boasting a whopping 21,702 CUDA cores, 32GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bandwidth, and a power draw of 600W. On the other hand, the GeForce RTX 5080 will feature the GB203-400-A1 chip with 10,752 CUDA cores, 16GB of GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit bandwidth, and a power draw of 400W.
If this information holds true, comparing it to the current GeForce RTX 4090 specifications with 16,384 CUDA cores, 24GB of GDDR6X memory on a 384-bit bandwidth, and a power draw of 450W, we can see that the 5090 takes a significant leap forward (how much will the price jump by?).
Previously, NVIDIA has only unveiled Blackwell on the server side, with no news regarding Blackwell on the gaming side. Rumors suggest that the launch may not happen in September-October as previously speculated, but rather be saved for CES 2025 in January.
