After a refresh earlier this year, NVIDIA is slated to release its next generation in 2024. The business unveiled the current RTX 40-series “Ada” in 2022. For some time now, we’ve been aware that the upcoming GeForce RTX 50-series “Blackwell” could launch in 2024, with the top two or three SKUs likely to launch first, followed by a ramp up the following year. However, a recent leak from Moore’s Law is Dead suggests that the launch may only include the flagship GeForce RTX 5090 or the SKU that replaces the RTX 4090.

Because the launch could at least include a technical overview of the architecture, even a launch limited to the flagship RTX 5090 would give us a good idea of the new “Blackwell” architecture, its various new features, and how the other SKUs in the lineup could perform at their relative price-points. It is anticipated that NVIDIA “Blackwell” will bring about even another generational performance jump over the existing portfolio. NVIDIA may be taking a more cautious approach with the GeForce “Blackwell” launch in order to give the market time to process supplies of the current RTX 40-series and to give AI GPUs based on the architecture, which generate significantly higher margins, more weight.
